Your tour will take you to refined Sorrento, the pearl of the Sorrentine Peninsula. Visit the historic center and discover its hidden treasures, such as the Sorrento Cathedral, Baroque churches and the striking Cloister of San Francesco. Don't forget to taste limoncello, a local liqueur made from the area's lemons.
Next in picturesque Positano, a town nestled between the hills and the crystal clear sea of the Amalfi Coast. Here you can admire the view from the surrounding mountains and stroll through the narrow streets of the historic center dotted with fashion and local craft stores. Savor the local cuisine, famous for its dishes of fresh fish and Mediterranean vegetables.
To finish Amalfi lemon gardens, which throughout the year punctuate with yellow the somber green foliage on the mountainsides that plummet to the sea and blend with the colors of the water, which along this coast constantly change between turquoise, indigo, and emerald.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
The town of Meta is positioned on the Sorrento Peninsula along with the towns of Vico Equense, Piano di Sorrento, Sant'Agnello, Sorrento and Massa Lubrense. It is the second town on the peninsula coming from Naples, after Vico Equense; in fact, it overlooks only the Gulf of Naples. Meta rises about 111 meters above sea level and covers an area of about 2.5 km², which includes both coastal areas, with more than 800 meters of coastline, and mountainous areas, with the hamlet of Alberi, the 642-meter Mount Vico Alvano to the southeast, and part of the Monti Lattari. Although there are no real political divisions within the municipality, popular tradition sees Meta divided into two distinct parts: Meta "di sopra" and Meta "di sotto"; the former includes Alberi and the inland area of the town; the latter consists of the area in front of the coast.
2.
The city of Sorrento, from which the entire territory that, perched on the Monti Lattari, separates the Gulf of Naples from the Gulf of Salerno, borrows its name, is a renowned destination for international tourism: nestled on a wide tufa terrace overlooking the sea, it is a small, quiet resort town famous for its villas, hotels, parks and gardens, as well as its beautiful views and characteristic citrus groves. Of Greek origin, and then growing under Roman rule, Sorrento today gravitates around Piazza Tasso and Corso Italia (on which the Duomo stands), from which the sea-facing side can be reached through a maze of narrow streets full of characteristic and lively businesses. The most striking view is the one observable from the belvedere of the Villa Comunale, which opens onto the harbor and the entire Gulf of Naples.
3.
Gallo Lungo is the largest of the three and is the only one to have been inhabited since Roman times: it has an elongated shape that extends for about 400 m with a variable width that towards the center is about 100 m and towards the "head" is about 200 m. West of Gallo Lungo are La Rotonda and Dei Briganti north of La Rotonda, the latter name given on the Positano municipality website,[1] although more commonly the island is referred to in texts as La Castelluccia. The islets are covered with grass and shrubs, with an abundance of daffodils.
4.
Positano is perhaps a unique place in the world! It is a jewel of spontaneous architecture, set on rock overhanging the sea. Clusters of colorful, sometimes cubic-looking houses are built on often very steep steps down to the beach, connected by alleys and long flights of steps. If arriving in Positano by taking the coastal road, from Amalfi or Sorrento, offers sudden panoramic views from above over the small town, landing there from the sea is truly a unique experience that fills the eyes and soul with beauty! And it is precisely from the sea, that around the 1st century AD the Romans arrived first, intent on building sumptuous seaside villas in Positano and along the Amalfi Coast 'for the exercise of their refined leisure'. The villa at Positano is said to have belonged to Posides Claudi Cesaris, a freedman of Emperor Claudius, hence the name Posidianum extended from the villa to the whole place.
5.
Furore is one of the most picturesque villages on the Amalfi Coast. Ė a UNESCO heritage site and is one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. Known above all for its evocative Fiordo, it is also the home of Fiorduva, one of the most appreciated wines in the world. A small reality with great riches all to be discovered. Furore will enrapture you above all for its landscape aspect. It appears, in fact, as an evocative village nestled in a deep valley: a crib of little houses clinging to the slopes of the Lattari Mountains, untouched by the passage of time, nestled between sheer cliffs and rich vegetation climbing the rocky walls.
6.
Amalfi's origins are shrouded in the clouds of legend. Numerous, in fact, are the legends about the founding of the town: in any case, they all have in common Roman origins. This is also demonstrated by the findings of archaeological remains from the imperial age, including the nymphaeum of a villa probably built at the time of Emperor Tiberius. The place name "Amalfi" is, moreover, of definite Latin extraction: it, according to the main origin saga, would derive from Melfi, a Lucanian maritime village abandoned by some Roman refugees in the 4th century AD; or it could correspond to the surname of a Roman gens of the 1st century AD (Amarfia). The remaining time is for the round trip and the time spent between attractions

Our tour was wonderful! Our guide Chiara was so friendly and knowledgeable. Driver, Mario, was incredible! How he navigated those roads was a miracle. The sights along the coast were simply breathtaking and we got to see it all.

A great way to visit major cities and attractions in a single day, the traffic to get to individual cities was terrible, but our guide Massimo entertained us along the way with trivia of individual places
A beautiful day!
