Your tour begins in Salerno where you'll board an air-conditioned motorcoach for a scenic 90-minute drive to the stunning resort of Sorrento. Here you'll have approximately 90-minutes of free time to explore the village. Sorrento boasts one of the biggest shopping districts along the Amalfi Coast-from lace sheets and fine furniture to table linens and handcrafted pottery. It's a prime place for shoppers and ambiance seekers alike. Explore the cobblestone side streets and public squares, such as Piazza Tasso and Piazza Antiche Mura for great atmosphere.
Corso Italia is Sorrento's flower-lined main boulevard and a window-shoppers delight where you'll find charming local shops, designer boutiques and cafés. Pick up souvenirs, such as a bottle of the local limoncello liquor or spend time enjoying the festive ambiance. Sorrento offers ample photo opportunities with marvelous views that overlook the Bay of Naples. Stroll down to the Sorrento Pier and take in the fresh sea breezes or go beachcombing along the rocky shoreline.
You'll re-board the motorcoach and head further along the Amalfi coast past the charming hillside town of Positano en route to our next stop: lunch at a local hotel/restaurant on the coast. You'll experience an authentic meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients of the Campania region. After lunch, we'll continue a few more miles along the coast to the city of Amalfi.
Upon arrival you'll have approximately 45 minutes of free time to explore the village. At some point you'll find yourself gazing upward at the awe-inspiring Amalfi Cathedral with its 62 steps leading to an impressive entryway. Its striking façade is Arabic-influenced Romanesque with a bold mix of stripes, arches, mosaics and textures. The bell tower and cupola are decorated with green and yellow tiles. The heavenly Cloister of Paradise is home to the tombs of Amalfi's wealthy merchants and features Moorish styling in white marble. Take a stroll around the courtyard and see its lovely Mediterranean garden as well as the ancient artworks that grace the walkways. The cloister leads into the Basilica of the Crucifix where you can see some amazing frescoes. The cathedral's museum and treasury is located in the basilica. The Crypt of St. Andrew is located in an altar decorated with beautiful Baroque murals dating from 1660. Church admission is extra and guests are asked to respect local custom and dress conservatively. (No bare shoulders or shorts and mini skirts.).
The return journey will proceed by motorboat to Salerno.
