About this tour
A 4–5 hour coastal drive from Salerno through Positano and Sorrento, two of the Amalfi Coast's most photogenic towns. You'll navigate steep, colourful streets lined with boutiques and cafés, breathe in the citrus groves that define the region, and taste local produce at its source. The pace is leisurely—time to wander, sit, and absorb rather than tick boxes.
Highlights
- Positano's tiered pastel buildings and narrow shopping streets
- Sorrento's clifftop position overlooking the Bay of Naples
- Lemon trees and limoncello producers along the route
- Local artisan ceramics and handicrafts in town squares
- Unobstructed views of the Tyrrhenian Sea from both towns
- Chance to sample regional food in working-class trattorias
What to expect
After leaving Salerno, the coach winds through the dramatic coast road—windows down, Mediterranean light on your face. Positano announces itself suddenly: a vertical village of ochre, pink, and cream buildings cascading to pebble beaches. You'll have time to walk the main pedestrian drag, duck into shops, and grab lunch at a family-run spot. Then it's on to Sorrento, perched on limestone cliffs with views down the peninsula. The town feels less frantic than Positano, with quieter piazzas and a stronger sense of everyday Italian life mixed with tourism. By late afternoon, you're heading back to Salerno.
Good to know
Wear comfortable walking shoes—both towns demand climbing stairs and uneven pavements. The coach has air conditioning but can get warm in summer. Prams, strollers, and wheelchair access are available; inform the operator beforehand. Bring sunscreen and water. Lunch is not always included; budget for it separately.
