How the Day Unfolds
A transparent look at the timetable, stops, and scenic inclusions.
Morning coach departure and 3 hours in Positano
Departing central Naples between 08:10 and 08:45 from hubs such as Molo Beverello, Piazza Bovio, and Via Toledo, the air-conditioned bus travels south along the highway toward the Sorrentine Peninsula and descends into Positano. Passengers enjoy approximately 3 hours of self-guided free time to wander the vertical pedestrian lanes of Via dei Mulini, explore artisan linen boutiques, and visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta or Spiaggia Grande beach.
Scenic ferry crossing to Amalfi and return to Naples
At the designated afternoon meeting time, the group boards a scheduled passenger ferry from Positano pier to Amalfi town. This water transfer provides open-air sea panoramas of vertical limestone cliffs, watchtowers, and shoreline villas without enduring slow-moving traffic on the SS163 road. Arriving in Amalfi, travelers receive roughly 2 hours to visit the 9th-century Duomo di Sant'Andrea on Piazza Duomo and sample local pastry before boarding the return coach back to Naples.
