Naples to Sorrento, Positano and Cetara: A Full-Day Amalfi Coast Journey
Cliffside villages, turquoise waters, and the authentic flavors of southern Italy in a single unforgettable day.
This Amalfi Coast day tour from Naples brings together three of the region's most distinctive destinations: the clifftop elegance of Positano, the lemon-scented streets of Sorrento, and the lesser-known fishing village of Cetara. Travelers move between each stop at a relaxed pace, with the freedom to explore independently or follow curated suggestions. A private chauffeur-driven vehicle ensures comfort throughout the scenic coastal drive.
The Amalfi Coast is recognized for its dramatic landscape, where steep limestone cliffs tumble toward a shimmering Mediterranean sea. Each village along this coastline carries its own identity, shaped by centuries of maritime tradition, local craftsmanship, and regional cuisine. This tour is designed to offer a genuine cross-section of that diversity within a single day.
Cetara, often overlooked by mainstream itineraries, provides a quieter and more authentic counterpoint to the busier resort towns. Its harbor remains an active fishing port, and its centuries-old anchovy production is still practiced by local families. A seaside meal at a local trattoria rounds out the experience with fresh seafood and traditional coastal dishes.
The driving time along the coast is approximately five hours in total, though this may vary with traffic. The coastal road itself is considered part of the experience, with panoramic views at nearly every turn. Travelers are encouraged to embrace the pace and enjoy the scenery between stops.

Itinerary
The tour begins with pickup in Naples, where a private chauffeur-driven vehicle is ready for the journey south along the Amalfi Coast. The coastal road offers sweeping views from the first stretch, setting the tone for the day ahead.
The first stop is Sorrento's historic center, a maze of narrow streets filled with local shops, limoncello producers, and artisan workshops. The tour begins at Piazza Tasso, where the Baroque facade of the Church of Santissima Annunziata stands as the focal point of the square.
Arriving in Positano, travelers can wander freely through the winding lanes that descend toward the sea, passing boutiques, ceramic shops, and viewpoints overlooking the coast. Spiaggia Grande, the main beach, offers the option to swim or simply relax by the water.
The final village on the itinerary, Cetara is a working fishing port with a distinctly local character. Visitors can watch fishermen at work near the harbor, explore pastel-colored streets lined with artisan shops, and sample or purchase the village's signature anchovy products.
Before returning to Naples, a meal at a local trattoria allows travelers to savor fresh seafood and traditional coastal cuisine in a relaxed seaside setting. This is a fitting close to a day spent along one of Italy's most celebrated coastlines.
