Coastal towns, sea views and time for long lunches. Choose a few stops rather than driving the entire coast in one day.

FIND YOUR BASE
A small property in one of the coastal towns offers a chance to enjoy local life and evening strolls. A hotel with sea views suits a more exclusive stay. Compare steps, access to the harbour and distances to the places you want to visit.
Choose Positano for its hillside houses and a stay where the town itself is part of the experience. Check access to your hotel and the stairs between your room, the beach and transport. A short distance on a map does not tell the whole story.
Consider Amalfi if you want a town base and outings from there. Staying outside the best-known towns may be appealing, but include additional transport and the return journey after dinner.
Give your own town a full day and choose at most one other town for an outing. Compare boats, buses and transfers using specific departures, luggage needs and hotel location. Sailing routes depend on season and conditions; keep an alternative if services change.
Arrival and an easy evening. A day in your base with time by the coast. An outing to one other town or a guided experience. Keep departure day for transport rather than squeezing in another stop. Check meeting points, included stops and duration before booking a boat trip.
Look at the room, breakfast, transfers, beach access and parking separately. A lower hotel rate may mean more expensive transport. Budget for the complete trip rather than allowing one photograph or room price to decide.

Explore Amalfi and nearby villages on a private guided hike with coastal views. The route connects historic settlements, steps and paths around Atrani and Ravello. This is an active outing with changes in elevation, rather than a short stroll around the square.
