The route leads from vibrant Naples to the spectacular Amalfi Coast, one of the most beautiful scenic roads in Europe. Traveling by car gives you the freedom to stop at viewpoints, beaches, and smaller coastal towns, although driving the winding SS163 road requires patience, especially during the summer months. Over five days you will visit Naples, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello — towns that combine Mediterranean charm, history, and spectacular views of the Tyrrhenian Sea. The route is most enjoyable from April to June and from September to October, when temperatures are more pleasant and crowds are smaller.
