Amalfi Coast Day Trip: Ravello and Amalfi from Naples
Where coastal roads, historic towns, and mountain scenery converge on one unforgettable day.
This Amalfi Coast day trip from Naples traces nearly 50 miles of winding shoreline road, placing the turquoise Tyrrhenian Sea on one side and the Lattari mountains on the other, all from the comfort of a high-quality vehicle with a professional driver and expert guide.
The route takes in two of the coast's most celebrated destinations: the sea-facing cathedral town of Amalfi and the clifftop village of Ravello, whose gardens and panoramas have drawn writers, composers, and visual artists for generations.
Multiple scenic stops allow time to absorb the Mediterranean light, the scent of citrus groves, and the layered history that defines this UNESCO-listed coastline. The pace is unhurried, with free time in Amalfi for lunch and independent exploration before continuing uphill to Ravello.
Classified as an easy tour, this excursion suits a broad range of travellers and requires no particular fitness level beyond comfortable walking on historic stone streets and garden paths.
