Today is the most scenic day, as your driver-guide will take you for a truly memorable experience visiting the most famous and magical settings overlooking the Tyrrhenian sea. First stop is Positano. From the centrally located Piazza dei Mulini, which is the last drivable section downtown, you will enjoy a very pleasant walk along a narrow downhill street leading to the seafront area passing by the cathedral, several outdoor cafes, green grocery, art & ceramic stores. From Amalfi you will then head to Amalfi – an ancient maritime republic.
It is a very pretty little town with a fascinating history, in a spectacular setting wedged between the sea and the mountains, with several good restaurants, ceramic shops and homemade limoncello! Life centres on the open-air salon of Piazza del Duomo, dominated by the flamboyant, striped façade of the Norman-Arab-style cathedral with its interlaced arches and a set of magnificent bronze doors cast in Constantinople in 1066. The best place to refuel and reflect is the charming old Pasticceria Pansa, whose delizie al limone, creamy cakes flavoured with local lemons, are legendary.
To escape Amalfi’s crowds, you will then take the stepped footpath that leads over the hill to Atrani, a fishing village with an atmospheric tangle of tightly packed buildings, tunnelled walkways and staircases and a brilliant fish trattorias, where your lunch will be served.
