Rome to Amalfi Coast day trip

This exciting day trip to south-italy is an excursion to the magnificent Amalfi Coast to see the three  Pearls: Positano Amalfi and Ravello.

We drive along the so called “Highway of the Sun” to reach the peninsula "Sorrentina " with its villages overlooking the Mediterranean Sea up to the upper part of Meta di Sorrento where you start driving on one of the most beautiful and exciting roads in the world, dramatic jagged cliffs, sparkling Mediterranean waters, an unrepeatable journey on the Amalfi Coast. The most beautiful coast in the world.

The artistic and natural beauty of this area earned it a place in UNESCO’s 1997 World Heritage List .

Positano, considered to be the pearl of the divine coast for its vertical architecture developed on the slopes of a steep cliff overlooking a magnificent emerald colour sea , is a sophisticated resort town today and the jewel of iconic Amalfi Coast. The village abounds with smart boutiques selling lemon-themed ceramics and the famouse leather sandals artisan made .

Next you will go on towards Amalfi, which gives the name to the whole area.

Amalfi is a city in an evocative natural setting beneath the steep cliffs on the southwestern coast of Italy. Between the ninth and eleventh centuries, it was the seat of a powerful maritime republic. In the heart of the city, the splendid Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, from the Arab-Norman period, is characterized by a striped Byzantine facade.

Three miles of twisty mountain roads up from Amalfi, the gorgeous resort of Ravello has been attracting celebrities for centuries, including Richard Wagner, Greta Garbo, D.H. Lawrence, who wrote Lady Chatterley’s Lover here. Ravello’s Duomo (Cathedral) and Villa Cimbrone (both 11th century) and Villa Rufolo (13th century) are all magnificent sights. The annual summer Ravello Festival began as a salute to Wagner’s music, but now showcases a wide range of music and arts.

At anytime your driver will give you suggestion for a nice lunch in a traditional restaurant where you can taste local specialties from the south of Italy .
