Amalfi Coast Road Tips

ATOL Protected
All of our holidays that include flights are protected by the ATOL scheme from the moment you book. So if one of our suppliers fails, you’ll get your money back. If you’re left stranded abroad, a flight home will be arranged at no extra cost. Our ATOL number is 11806
ABTA Protected
As proud ABTA members we deliver the highest standards when it comes to our holidays. So if you book with us you’re guaranteed the best service. Our ABTA number is P8283, Y6720.
Secure trust account
Unlike many other travel companies we operate on a trust account model. Once we’ve paid the airline for your flights, the rest of you money is held in a trust account. We do not have access to this directly and can only withdraw funds when you are back home from holiday

Built into dramatic cliffs, the Amalfi Coast Road (or Amalfi Drive) is well known for its twists, turns and incredible views. This is one of those places where the journey is as much a part of the experience as your destination, so if you decide to hire a car you're in for a drive like no other.

It's not the only way to get around, though, so check out the ferry timetables if you'd like to see the view from the water. With those steep cliffs dotted with lemon groves, luxury villas and pretty towns, the scenery is spectacular.

There are some great places to visit all along the coast. Up in the hills above Amalfi itself, you'll find the town of Ravello, whose Villa Rufolo has been a popular retreat for composers and writers.

If you're looking for more of those beautiful views, don't miss Sant'Agata, which overlooks both the Bay of Naples and the Bay of Salerno.

For a completely authentic taste of the 'real' Amalfi Coast, make sure you visit Cetara (which still has a working fishing fleet), charming Minori (where you can see the ruins of a Roman villa and its thermal baths) and Positano, whose colourful sugar cube houses will look great in your photos.

Alternatively, if you fancy a good walk, grab a map and head out of town to the Valle delle Ferriere. You'll be rewarded with some amazing scenery, but the highlight has to be the waterfalls you'll pass as you hike through the valley.
