## Itinerary

1. **Maiori** (pass by, no stop) - A large beach and sidewalk, (called "lungomare", meaning "along the sea" in Italian) full of shops and cafes. Home to Grotta Pandora, a gorgeous sea cave that you can explore.
2. **Minori** (pass by, no stop) - Another small, idyllic fishing village of the Amalfi Coast and home to “Villa Romana” the ruins of a Roman villa.
3. **Marmorata** (pass by, no stop) - A fraction of Ravello, Marmorata is very green with an almost tropical feel. There is a little waterfall tucked into a small lagoon, ideal for a swim.
4. **Amalfi** (pass by, no stop) - The most famous town on the Amalfi Coast, a bustling village with a beautiful cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew and home to five star hotels, shops, restaurants and an old paper mill/museum which produces organic paper.
5. **Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto)** (20m) - A grotto in Conca dei Marini boasting an emerald color, discovered by local fisherman.
6. **Conca dei Marini** (pass by, no stop) - Enjoy a swim in a beautiful bay under the former villa of Sophia Loren and stop to enjoy the beach where Jackie Kennedy spent her days while vacationing on the coast. This is village was voted to be in the top 100 most beautiful Italian villages
7. **Furore** (pass by, no stop) - Pass a turquoise fjord with a bridge where a diving competition is held every year. It is also the location where Roberto Rossellini shot the famous film "Amore" starring Anna Magnani.
8. **Praiano** (pass by, no stop) - A typical Amalfi Coast fishing village that is built onto two sides of the mountain.
9. **Positano** (pass by, no stop) - The view of Positano from the sea is one of the most famous views in the world. Cruise along the coastline and pass the luxurious San Pietro Hotel, small hidden coves and beaches where you can stop for a swim off the boat if you would like.
10. **Spiaggia di Tordigliano** (pass by, no stop) - The beach near Positano is Tordigliano: secluded, natural, and only reachable by boat or a steep path. Quiet and perfect for a swim.
