Exclusive Cruises will be your hosts for the day for a private 6-hour boat excursion along the Amalfi Coast from Salerno. This is a private boat tour that can be fully customized to your interests. Below is only a suggested itinerary with a selection of highlights from the day that you can experience. Note: Sights are marked “Pass By” simply because you can decide to spend as much or as little time as you would like. Exclusive Cruises will help you plan a relaxed tour custom fit to your travel desires. Here are some highlights of the experience and sights you will enjoy:
– Meet your captain at the tourist port in Salerno and set off along the beautiful Amalfi Coast, one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in Europe.
– Upon leaving Salerno pass the village Vietri sul Mare, “The first pearl of Amalfi,” because it is where the Amalfi Coast and Amalfi drive begin.
– Following Vietri lies the fishing village Cetara, renowned for its production of anchovies.
– Continue past Maiori and Minori, two neighboring villages sitting on the sea. Maiori is much larger than Minori and has a large “Lungomare”, a street parallel to the long beach. Maiori also features a hidden cave known as “Pandora’s Grotto”, only accessible by the sea.
– Cruise past the town of Amalfi, arguably the most popular destination for tourists on the coast. Here lies the cathedral dedicated to St. Andrew, a 9th century Roman Catholic structure.
– Take in the sights of Conca dei Marini, voted in the top 100 most beautiful villages in Italy. A notable sight is the Lover’s Arch, a natural formation of limestone. “Conca” is also home to the Emerald Grotto, a green cave with an underwater nativity scene. This village features several quaint beach-side restaurants where you can taste some of the best seafood in the area.
– After Conca dei Marini, get your camera ready as the Fiordo di Furore is next with a bridge positioned 30 meters above the water.
– Next lies Praiano, built on two sides of a cliff. Next to Praiano rests one of the most photographed destinations in all of Italy, Positano, a vertical village sprinkled with colorful villas sprawling up the mountainside. Notable attractions in Positano include the Collegiata di Santa Maria Assunta, a historic church with a vast dome created in the 1920s.
– The day will wrap up back at the Piazza della Concordia where you originally embarked, unless otherwise indicated.
