Excursion The amalfi coast by land and sea tour at Naples

Cruise line: Silversea

Widely considered Italy's most scenic stretch of coastline, the Amalfi Coast provides landscapes and vistas of unmatched beauty with towering bluffs, villages and gardens all alongside the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean.

On arrival at the pier, travel approximately 2 hours along the Amalfi Drive.

Amalfi

Amalfi is a romantic, Moorish-style resort town overlooking the Bay of Salerno at the foot of the steep Lattari Hills. In the center of the town stands the 11th-century Cathedral of St. Andrew, said to hold the remains of the apostle. Distinctive for its black-and-white facade and its mosaics, the building features bronze doors cast in Constantinople in 1066 and a bell tower dating to the 13th century.

After arriving in Amalfi, the guide will provide directions to the main square and a brief orientation. Afterwards, guests are free to explore the narrow alleyways lined with shops and boutiques independently and to enjoy their lunch at their convenience.

At the designated time, board a local public motor boat for the 45-minute cruise transfer (not commented) along the Amalfi Coast to the Town of Salerno. Here you will re-board your coach for your return to Naples via Motorway.
