Stop At: Sorrento, Sorrento, Province of Naples, Campania
When your cruise ship docks at Naples, meet your driver at the port and hop into your air-conditioned minivan with the rest of your small group.
Then, travel south to Sorrento, the cliff-top resort that’s a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Amalfi Coast, a 40-mile (64-km) stretch shore typified by steep cliffs and confetti-colored villages.
On arrival, enjoy an hour of free time to explore picturesque Sorrento as you wish. Perhaps stroll the tangled lanes, enjoy the bars and shops in the central square, Piazza Tasso, or admire the 15th-century cathedral — it’s wholly up to you.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Positano, Positano, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
Rejoin your minibus and have your camera ready as you drive along the Amalfi Coast, following the cliff roads between lemon groves and the shimmering Mediterranean below. Arrive in the gorgeous cliffside town of Positano, whose houses cascade down cliffs to a pebbly beach, and enjoy an hour of free time to shop at the chic stores, unwind over coffee or perhaps visit the Church of St Maria Assunta, famous for its tiled dome.
