Experience the magic of Salerno this spring with a blend of coastal exploration and culinary delights. With partly cloudy skies and cool temperatures, it’s the perfect time to discover the Amalfi Coast’s iconic cities and indulge in the region’s exquisite wines and cuisine.

Morning Strolls and Coastal Charms

As the sun rises over the enchanting city of Salerno, the air is filled with the promise of a day brimming with exploration and indulgence. The weather, a gentle mix of partly cloudy skies and cool temperatures, sets the perfect stage for a morning adventure along the Amalfi Coast. Begin your day with the Unforgettable Amalfi Tour, a journey that promises to be unparalleled and enduringly memorable. This tour, available from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, takes you through the captivating Amalfi Coast, starting with the famed ‘vertical village’ of Positano. As you navigate the narrow declines toward the marina, you’ll pass by a myriad of boutiques, ceramic shops, and art galleries, each offering a glimpse into the vibrant local culture.

In Amalfi, the earliest western maritime republic, explore the cathedral, picturesque squares, and fascinating museums. Don’t miss the gastronomic wonder of Amalfi, ‘sfusato amalfitano’, a type of lemon also known as the gold of Amalfi. The tour concludes in Ravello, the ‘city of music’ and art, where art is found in every corner, from aromatic flowers and serene terraces to awe-inspiring villas. As you sip on exquisite DOC wine, let the beauty of the region envelop you.

Afternoon Delights and Culinary Adventures

As the day progresses and the skies clear, the afternoon presents an opportunity to delve deeper into the heart of the Amalfi Coast. The Iconic Southern Cities Tour, available from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offers a chance to experience the magic of some of the South’s most iconic cities with local drivers who passionately guide you through the landmarks and urban landscapes. This tour extends over 50 kilometers south of the Sorrentine Peninsula, boasting dramatic cliffs and a craggy coastline speckled with quaint beaches and pastel-hued fishing towns.

Enjoy free time in Amalfi to explore the ancient “Marine Republic” and visit the Cathedral of Sant’Andrea. In Positano, lose yourself in the narrow streets and stairways of this cliffside village, known as the jewel of the Amalfi Coast. The tour also includes a stop in Ravello, where you can explore the panoramic balcony overlooking the coast at 1000 feet above the sea. Indulge in a 1-hour lunch break at a homely trattoria, savoring a fixed menu of traditional local cuisine, soft drinks, wine, and desserts.
