We started our honeymoon in Naples and hired a car to drive down to our hotel in Positano and, naturally, completing the drive of the Amalfi Coast was top of our list. We decided to compete the drive East from Sorrento to Salerno so that we could head up into Naples to visit Pompeii afterwards. The main thing to say is that the views are absolutely stunning. The coastal drive, especially if you get good weather, has to be seen to be believed and the way the terrain, architecture and colours evolve as you move through the towns is quite breaktaking. Positano is a must stop. We were lucky enough to be staying here but it fully deserved is reputation amongst the highlights of the coast, with many beautiful shops and restaurants and the impressive colours across the buildings. I'd also highly recommend stopping at the church of Saint Januarius in Praiano as it is beautifully located with impressive designs inside. All of that said, the big issue of course with Amalfi is the roads. My advice to anybody thinking about driving themselves is, if you have any apprehension or concerns it may be too challenging for you, then trust your instincts! The roads are incredibly tight, busy and local drivers are not considerate - basically everything you've heard is true. My husband is an excellent driver, we'll experienced in rural and country driving and he still found it challenging. I drive also but there is no way I would have been confident enough to drive any of the south of Italy, least of all Amalfi. So, find a means of travel that suits, be it coach or seeing done towns by Boat, but either way it is a very worthwhile experience.

Scenic Amalfi Coast is a spectacular seaside Mediterranea region in southwest Italy. It's near Naples. Amalfi Coast is well known for its rugged coastal scenery. Amalfi Coast is a destination for visitors and Italians, who appreciate local restaurants. Amalfi Coast encourages romance.

Everyting was great, Amalfi (town) (ok not great but good), the rest was Great: Ravello gardens, ferry to Positano, Positano, a walk inland under the lemon trees (near Amalfi town) etc. We travled in May and dogded the crowds. I found the roads ok, but i am used to narrow roads.

Spiaggia di Positano Marina Grande beach was quite pretty esp for sunny day. i did walking beach and ferry visit that also impressive. relaxing at bar to enjoy sunset also very comfortable.

Day1) we arrives at Napoli Int in the morning took the bus to Pompeii walked for 3 hours then a private driver drove us to our Airbnb in Maiori Glad we did Maiori for our Base in the Amalfi coast it seems that this village is with the least amount of steep alleys although there is stairs but not like Praiano or positano, also affordable and convenient for transportation buses and ferries right from there. Maiori is about 45 minutes bus drive to Positano. 13euros bus pass for 24 hours hop on hop off. We had dinner at Pineta 1903 under lemon trees. Day2) took the ferry to Capri one way from Maiori Spent the day there we booked a island boat tour, did chair lift and had lunch at the Zigara under lemon trees. Took the last ferry back to Amalfi ate dinner there then took the bus back to Maiori. Day3) walked Amalfi then headed to a beach club reservation at La Scogliera Positano. Day4) took the bus to Ravello walked the Villa Cimbrone and had lunch with view. We took swim in Atrani. Day5) took the bus to Sorrento walk around had lunch there with view of the Naples bay then headed back to Positano we had reserved a private sunset boat tour And finally had a reservation at El Capitano restaurant. Next morning we headed back to Napoli by private transport
