Campania, Italy
Lemon groves, cliffside villas, and a coastline that earns every switchback.
Positano to Ravello, by private boat and back road.
The Amalfi Coast rewards travelers who go by water, not just by car. This itinerary threads the coast's best-known towns with private boat days, giving you the coastline the way it's meant to be seen — from below the cliffs, not stuck in traffic above them.
What's included
The experience
Private boat day from Positano to Capri, with time to swim in the Blue Grotto's quieter hours
A guided walk through Ravello's clifftop gardens at Villa Cimbrone
A limoncello-and-lunch stop at a family lemon farm above Amalfi town
Evening arrival in Praiano for a quieter, less touristed base than Positano proper
Where you'll stay
A cliffside villa or boutique hotel in Praiano or Ravello, both quieter alternatives to central Positano with equally dramatic views.
Best time to go
May, June, or late September, avoiding the July–August peak crowds and heat.
