    Travel’s taste YOUR LUXURY TRAVEL PARTNER IN ITALY www.italycreative.it Amalfi Coast Amalfi More about: things to know Coast www.italycreative.it Deemed by Unesco to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests. Most hotels and villas are open from March/April through October/November. The towns on the water with beaches include Amalfi, Atrani, Cetara, Furore, Maiori, Minori, Praiano, Positano, and Vietri sul Mare. Towns higher up on the cliffs include Agerola, Ravello, Scala, and Tramonti. Amalfi Coast is crossed by Strada Statale 163 Amalfitana (world-famous known as Amalfi Drive), a 50km (30 miles) stretch of road from north to south. If we take the two entrance points to the Amalfi Coast with Sorrento in the north and Salerno in the south, the road goes through the towns in this order: Positano | Praiano | Amalfi | Atrani | Minori | Maiori | Cetara | Vietri Sul Mare It's important to know the order as that would make exploring the towns a bit easier. The Sorrento to Salerno direction is more preferrable as, by being in the right lane, you are right next to the cliffs with no opposing traffic to block your view. There are no trains serving the Amalfi Coast. HOTELS selection Amalfi à POSITANO Coast www.italycreative.it Spread between four villas, each of the suites offers a unique blend of carefree comfort and careful attention to detail.

  • Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples
    Sorrento, Capri, the Amalfi Coast and Naples 24 - 31 March 2019 from £1795.00 A tempting Spring break to Italy, relaxing in the mild climate of the Amalfi coast and the Bay of Naples. We will be based in Sorrento on the Amalfi coast for the first three nights, where we will visit the Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. These are the classic Amalfi gardens laid out in terraces where umbrella pines and cypresses shade classical geometric beds edged with box and filled with modern flowers. The site of Villa Cimbrone on a cliff top promontory overlooking the sea is beyond compare. We will also take the ferry to the enchanting island of Capri and explore some of its captivating sights. We travel round the Bay of Naples, breaking our journey with visits to the unique archaeological wonders of Pompeii and Herculaneum, to the pulsating port of Naples itself. We travel out to the north of the city to spend a day at the impressive palace and gardens of La Caserta. This huge palace, with equally grand and impressive gardens, was constructed for the Bourbon Kings of Naples and on completion in the 18th century it was the largest royal residence in the world. Finally a day of art and archaeological treasures as we tour the hot-blooded city of Naples, rich with the aroma of Neapolitan cuisine. Itinerary Day 1 We depart by coach from York for Manchester Airport in time for our scheduled flight to Naples (provisional times 08.00/12.00). Upon arrival we will transfer to our hotel in Sorrento, where we will stay for the next three nights.
