After exploring this once-thriving Roman city, continue with a scenic coastal drive along the stunning Amalfi Coast. Take in sweeping views of dramatic cliffs, turquoise waters, and terraced villages. Arrive in the charming seaside town of Positano, known for its colorful cliffside buildings, narrow streets, and artisanal boutiques. Enjoy free time to stroll, dine, relax by the beach, or shop for local products like limoncello and handmade sandals.
