What to expect
You'll be picked up in Salerno and head south onto the twisting SS163, a road engineered into near-vertical cliffs. The Fiat 500 handles the hairpins with surprising grace, though the ride is snug and tactile—you feel every curve. Planned stops offer expansive views across the Mediterranean and down into fishing villages. Once in Amalfi, you're loose to explore the cathedral, harbour, and restaurants without schedule pressure. The return journey retraces the same route. Expect heads turning whenever you stop; the car is a conversation starter.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries; the winding road and vintage suspension create persistent motion. Bring sunscreen and a camera—glare off water is intense. Roads are narrow; luggage should be minimal. The car seats five comfortably. Wear comfortable shoes for Amalfi's steep pavements.
