Your 7-Day Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello, Italy Itinerary

Immerse yourself in the unique vertical landscape of Positano. Explore the narrow, winding streets filled with boutiques, art galleries, and cafes, stopping to admire the iconic colorful houses and breathtaking coastal vistas. This activity covers Via Pasitea and the general town exploration.

"The viewpoint above Positano is an incredibly beautiful spot with a breathtaking view. It's definitely worth stopping, taking a moment, and simply looking around. There's a strong sense of aesthetics here - refined, inspiring, and unforgettable. I could easily imagine living in a place like this."— Markus Polo

Spend some time unwinding on Positano's famous main beach. Enjoy the Mediterranean sun, take a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters, and admire the postcard-perfect view of Positano's colorful houses cascading down the cliffside.

"Visited in December. Very quiet. Less people. Avery beautiful and colorful place. Definitely “must see”! The strongest men swim in the sea even in winter. 😁 Take a bus from Sorrento, road time 50 min, the cost of ticket was 2.5€."— Александр Захарченко

Explore Positano's prominent church, famous for its majestic majolica-tiled dome and the 13th-century Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna. The church is a cultural and historical landmark in the heart of the town.

"It is a space where one can reflect while admiring the architectural elegance. It is a pleasant pause for those interested in art and spirituality."— Alina Maria Lupu

Enjoy a rewarding hike up from Positano to the charming hilltop village of Montepertuso. This scenic walk offers stunning views of Positano from above and a taste of local village life, fulfilling both nature and adventure interests. Wear comfortable walking shoes as it involves steep ascents and steps.

"Stunning walk which traverses the beautiful Amalfi coastline. Started in Bomerano and finished in Positano. We caught the 5080 bus from Amalfi to Bomerano. Grabbed a coffee in Bomerano before we got started. Arriving in Positano, we caught a taxi boat back to Amalfi - expensive but a perfect way to finish the day. Well worth the effort and a great day out."— David Agnew

Ascend Monte Solaro, Capri's highest point, via a charming chairlift for unparalleled panoramic views of the island, the Bay of Naples, and the Amalfi Coast.

"Lovely ride up the cliff face, it looks scary but it’s not the most difficult thing is getting on and off the seat. Enjoy your ride up the hill taking in some of the best views of capri and Italy main island. The ride takes around 5 mins. At the top of the hill you will have a small restaurant and toilet which is nice but pricey. The way up is better than the way down! Must see when you get to capri"— D Brew

Stroll through the beautiful terraced Gardens of Augustus, offering spectacular views of the iconic Faraglioni rock formations and the winding Via Krupp below.

"We just had a brilliant few days exploring the Amalfi Coast! The locals were incredibly friendly, and the food was absolutely fantastic everywhere we went. I will give one warning: driving a rental car on those narrow cliffside roads is definitely a bit scary! But despite the white-knuckle driving, it was an amazing trip. Overall, a truly great experience that I highly recommend."— Tomas Machala

Enjoy time to wander the picturesque, boutique-lined streets of Capri Town, and soak in the glamorous atmosphere of the famous Piazzetta, the island's bustling main square.

"Great location, excellent service. You can sit on the terrace or indoors (4 tables sitting 16 pax). We were lucky to have our guide book us indoors with air con. The food is excellent and I highly recommend the fried calamari/squid, the penne arrabiata, the chicken salad and the shrimp salad. For drinks they have a vast choice. As has been said, this is Positano, it's pricey but the service is worth it!"— D O

Enjoy a final peaceful morning stroll along Fornillo Beach, known for its crystal-clear waters and tranquil atmosphere, before departing Positano.

"Even though it is quite expensive to get a chair inside one of the clubs that have control of most of the beach, it makes sense why they charge. It has a lot of pebbles, and it is a nice service overall. The beach is fantastic and so gorgeous! The colors, the views, the temperature (a bit cold but very welcome in this heat) the black sand, and the fact that it is not as busy as the main Positano beach makes it an unique spot. Bear in mind, the prices in this brach from the beach clubs are for the well-off or rich tourists. I came prepared so it would not take me by surprise (35 euro per person), but, I promise, it is worth it."— Miguel Rojas

Ascend the grand staircase to visit the magnificent Duomo di Sant'Andrea, Amalfi's iconic cathedral, exploring its stunning Arab-Norman architecture, crypt, and cloister.

"Visiting the Cathedral of Saint Andrew in Amalfi was one of the most impressive experiences of my trip. The church is truly breathtaking, both inside and out. The grand staircase leading up to the entrance, the beautifully detailed façade, and the striking blend of architectural styles make it a masterpiece that immediately captures your attention. Inside, the atmosphere is equally captivating—peaceful, spiritual, and filled with artistic details that reflect centuries of history. Every corner seems to tell a story, and the craftsmanship is nothing short of extraordinary. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone visiting Amalfi. It is not only a landmark but also an unforgettable cultural and spiritual experience that should not be missed."— Alexandru MARGINEAN

Take a short boat ride into the Grotta dello Smeraldo, a sea cave famous for its dazzling emerald green water caused by sunlight filtering through an underwater crevice.

"This was such a fun experience!! My mom and I didn’t get to visit the blue grotto in Capri, and this was recommended to us by a tour guide. We were worried it would be super touristy, however it was really incredible! For only 5€ (maybe 10€) a person, we had a fabulous guide and a lot of fun!! If you have extra time, or if you don’t get to visit the blue grotto, come see Grotta Smeraldo!!"— Erin K

Spend a leisurely afternoon exploring the pedestrian streets, charming squares, and artisan shops of Amalfi's historic center, soaking in the local atmosphere.

"The Fountain of Saint Andrew in Amalfi is located in the heart of the city, right next to the Cathedral of Saint Andrew. In its vicinity, there are also many terraces and souvenir shops. The water is drinkable and very cold."— Pif Dark

Hike through the lush Valle delle Ferriere, a verdant valley known for its unique microclimate, waterfalls, and ancient ironworks. The trail offers a serene escape into nature, showcasing diverse flora and fauna.

"A paradise in this valley - very comfortable stay. The climb is worth it, plus the steps help you digest all the yummy food the area has to offer. Breakfast was such a treat, the attention to detail was incredible. Gino was so helpful and kind. It’s a calm place very close to the busy city center, it’s peaceful."— Miriam Noel

Explore the breathtaking gardens and terraces of Villa Cimbrone, famous for its Infinity Terrace with dramatic views of the coastline.

"Words cannot describe the wonderful experience I had at this great hotel. From the very first moment I arrived in Ravello, the personalized letter that lead me into the incredibly attentive and professional staff, the experience was fantastic. Upon entering the spotless room and opening the terrace doors, I was greeted by one of the most spectacular panoramic views I've seen in Italy. First, I went for a walk around the hotel, the gardens, and the infinity terrace. Then I went to the restaurant and enjoyed an exquisite meal with an unparalleled view. I went down to the pool to have a drink and relax in the sun. In the afternoon, the stroll through the gardens, outside of tourist hours, is simply magical. I highly recommend staying at least one or two nights at this wonderful hotel; it's definitely a place I'll remember for the rest of my travels."— Jamie L

Wander through the historic Villa Rufolo, known for its beautiful terraced gardens, medieval architecture, and inspiring sea views that captivated Richard Wagner.

"Just the perfect place for a great view. Actually is the only place that I visit and anywhere you turn the camera you spot a perfect place to make a beautiful picture. Highly Recommend. Best experience."— Jean Blagoi

Visit the Duomo of Saint Mary of the Assumption, Ravello's impressive cathedral, featuring a beautiful bronze door and a rich history.

"Nice for a quick trip from Amalfi via bus. The square has some good cafes. Lovely views and relaxing atmosphere."— Aakriti Bhardwaj

Engage in a hands-on cooking experience at Mamma Agata, learning to prepare authentic Amalfi Coast dishes using fresh local ingredients, culminating in a delightful meal of your own creation. This provides a romantic culinary adventure.

"Stop what you’re doing and email Chiara now to book this class if you are near Ravello during your travels. I feel very lucky to have stumbled upon this cooking class while reading about Ravello on a random blog post. My husband and I spent the day with Chiara on her gorgeous property, and it was our very favorite day in Italy, and the best food we had in Italy hands down. Chiara’s love for people and passion for authentic italian cooking is contagious. Anyone who gets the chance to spend the day with Chiara in her home, learning how to cook a mouthwatering bolognese and meatballs, and drinking her delicious wine and limoncello are incredibly lucky!!"— katey gascoigne

Transfer from Ravello to Naples Capodichino Airport (NAP) for your international flight home to New York, NY.

"The airport is easy to navigate, with a calm check-in area, clear signage and smooth access to the departures level via elevators and escalators. The automatic gates at security work well, although one lane was left unattended during my visit. After the checks, the terminal offers a pleasant flow: a spacious duty-free, cafés, bakeries and several service points including ATMs, currency exchange, vending machines, charging spots and modern, spotless restrooms. Water fountains are available near the C-gates and in the extra-EU zone. Gate areas, however, remain compact, and seating fills quickly during peak hours. My experience covered both the outbound and the return journey. On the way back, late in the evening, operations were orderly: just a short walk to the arrivals hall and baggage delivery was impressively quick, much faster than usual. Everything worked efficiently overall, even though the terminal would benefit from additional space as traffic keeps growing. Recommended, with the hope of a future expansion to match its increasing passenger flow."— Camille Select
