Itinerary

Spiaggia di Positano Marina Grande Stop 1
Meet your boat and captain at the departure point in Positano, which is at the cement pier next to the Spiaggia Grande beach.
Pass by
Spiaggia di Tordigliano Stop 2
Just outside Positano, before reaching Praiano, you’ll find Spiaggia di Tordigliano. This wild and unspoiled beach is accessible via a scenic hiking path from the main road. Unlike the more crowded beaches, Tordigliano offers dramatic cliffs, crystal-clear water, and a peaceful atmosphere.
Pass by
Praiano Stop 3
A typical Amalfi Coast fishing village that is built onto two sides of the mountain.
Pass by
Furore Stop 4
Pass a quaint, turquoise Fjord with a bridge where a diving compe- tition is held every year. It is also the location where Roberto Rossellini shot the famous film "Amore" beside Anna Magnani.
Pass by
Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) Stop 5
Inside, sunlight filters through underwater openings, illuminating the cave with an extraordinary emerald glow. You can access it by boat or via an elevator from the coastal road.
Pass by
Conca dei Marini Stop 6
A beautiful bay under the former villa of Sophia Loren, as well as a natural arc in the rocks dubbed the "Lover's Arc". This is one of the most beautiful spots on the Amalfi Coast.
Pass by
Amalfi Stop 7
he 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.
Pass by
Atrani Stop 8
is a charming, tiny village right next to Amalfi. With its narrow streets, quiet piazzas, and authentic local vibe, it's one of the most picturesque and peaceful spots on the coast.
Pass by
Ravello Stop 9
Perched high above the sea. Ravello is known for its elegant villas and breathtaking terraces.
Pass by
Maiori Stop 10
A large beach and sidewalk, (called "lungomare", meaning "along the sea" in Italian) full of shops and cafes. Admire the Pandora's grotto just past the town of Maiori, which is big enough for small boats to enter.
Pass by
Minori Stop 11
Another small, idyllic fishing village of the Amalfi Coast and home to “Villa Romana” the ruins of a Roman villa.
Pass by
Marmorata Stop 12
A fraction of Ravello, Marmorata is a very green part of coastline with an almost tropical feel. There is a little waterfall tucked into a small lagoon, ideal for a swim.
