Leave Rome for a full-day private drive along the Amalfi Coast: Positano’s cliffside cafés, Amalfi’s cathedral square and paper museum, and Ravello’s sweeping viewpoints. Expect a long day of dramatic driving, short walks, and plenty of photo stops.

You leave Rome before sunrise and the highway unspools toward the sea; by midmorning the road begins to hug cliffs and the air shifts to salt and lemon. The drive down the SS163 is a cinematic ribbon of switchbacks, pastel houses stacked like cards, and terraces of lemon trees that hunch over steep terraces toward the Tyrrhenian.
