After Pompeii, the group travels along the coastal road, one of the most scenic drives in Europe. Views of the Mediterranean, terraced lemon groves, and clifftop villages unfold continuously along the route.
Depending on the selected option, travelers explore either Positano, with its cliffside architecture and bustling piazzas, or Amalfi, where the medieval cathedral and historic maritime quarter anchor the town center. Free time allows for personal exploration, shopping, or dining.
