8-Hour Private Trip from Naples to Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi
A scenic coastal journey through three of southern Italy's most iconic destinations
This private Amalfi Coast day trip from Naples takes you through the clifftop resort of Sorrento, the colorful hillside village of Positano, and the historic harbor town of Amalfi in a single, well-paced eight-hour excursion. Your private chauffeur-driven vehicle handles all the driving, so you can focus on the scenery and the stops. The route follows one of the most celebrated coastal roads in Europe, offering panoramic sea views throughout.
Sorrento welcomes you with its clifftop vantage points, fragrant lemon groves, and a compact historic center that rewards slow exploration. The town sits on the Sorrentine Peninsula and serves as a natural gateway to the Amalfi Coast, with marinas and beaches adding to its appeal. An hour here gives you a genuine taste of the town without rushing you through it.
Positano's steeply terraced streets, lined with ceramics shops and local boutiques, lead down to Spiaggia Grande and the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its majolica-tiled dome, stands as the town's most recognizable landmark. The atmosphere is unhurried, and the coastal views from the upper paths are worth the climb.
Amalfi closes the day with its cathedral square, medieval architecture, and the celebrated Cloister of Paradise. The town was once a powerful maritime republic, and traces of that history are visible throughout its streets and monuments. A seaside meal at a local restaurant rounds off the experience before the return drive to Naples.
