Naples to Ravello, Amalfi and Cetara: A Complete Coastal Journey
Cliffside villages, historic gardens, and fresh anchovies along one of Italy's most celebrated coastlines.
This full-day private tour from Naples to the Amalfi Coast takes you through three distinct destinations, each with its own character, history, and culinary identity. You travel in a private chauffeur-driven vehicle, which means the itinerary moves at a comfortable pace suited to your group.
Ravello sits high above the sea and is known for its refined atmosphere, its historic villas, and its commanding views over the water. Amalfi, once a powerful maritime republic, draws visitors with its cathedral, its lemon groves, and its layered past. Cetara, smaller and less visited, offers an authentic glimpse into the fishing traditions that have shaped this coastline for centuries.
The drive along the Amalfi Coast is itself a significant part of the experience. The road winds between cliffs and sea, passing through villages that cling to the rock face. Estimated driving time is around five hours, though this may vary with seasonal traffic conditions.
By the end of the day, you will have moved through contrasting moods of the same coastline, from hilltop gardens to a working harbor, with time to eat well and explore on foot at each stop.
Tour Highlights
Panoramic coastal scenery from the cliffs of Ravello down to the Tyrrhenian Sea.

Travel in a private chauffeur-driven vehicle throughout the full day for comfort and flexibility.
Itinerary
Your private vehicle departs from Naples and begins the drive south along the coast. The road gradually opens up to the dramatic scenery of the Amalfi Coast as you leave the city behind.
Your visit to Ravello begins at Piazza Duomo in the heart of the hilltop town. From there, you can explore Villa Rufolo, whose terraced gardens and historic architecture have drawn visitors for centuries. The Terrace of the Infinity offers one of the most photographed views on the entire coast.
Descending to sea level, you arrive in the town of Amalfi with time to walk its narrow lanes and visit its cathedral. The town's identity as a former maritime republic is still visible in its architecture and civic spaces. Local lemon products, including limoncello, are available throughout the town.
Cetara is a small fishing village with a strong anchovy production tradition, and the harbor is its natural starting point. You can watch local fishermen at work, browse artisan shops along the pastel-colored streets, and sample or purchase anchovy products as souvenirs.
A meal at a local trattoria rounds out the tour, with dishes built around the fresh seafood and coastal ingredients the region is known for. This is an unhurried stop that gives you time to reflect on the day before the return drive.
Your private driver returns you to Naples along the coastal road. The return journey offers another opportunity to take in the scenery at a relaxed pace.
