If you’re short on time, 2–3 days are enough for a highlights-only itinerary—think Positano, Amalfi, and a taste of Capri.
For a deeper experience that includes hidden gems like Praiano and Furore, plan at least 5 days. You’ll move at a relaxed pace, enjoy sunset views, and actually feel the la dolce vita—not just see it from a car window.

• 2–3 days: greatest hits, quick transfers, minimal downtime.

• 5+ days: slower travel, coastal hikes, foodie stops, time for Pompeii and a Capri boat tour.

Five days give you time to see the icons and add a few wow-moments without rushing. Here’s a balanced plan.

• Day 1 — The Amalfi Drive & Scenic Viewpoints
  Travel the legendary SS163 (with driver, bus, or car). Stop at panoramic overlooks to photograph the cliffs and cobalt sea.

• Day 2 — Beach Time & Seaside Village Vibes
  Pick a coastal town for a slow day: Amalfi, Minori, or Praiano. Swim, stroll the old town, and try sfogliatella or delizia al limone.

• Day 3 — Ravello’s Gardens & Sky-High Views
  Head to Ravello. Visit Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone (Terrace of Infinity) for jaw-dropping vistas.

• Day 4 — Pompeii & Ancient History
  Dedicate a full day to Pompeii. Go with an expert guide to unlock the stories behind the forums, villas, and frescoes.

• Day 5 — Capri by Boat
  Sail to Capri. Cruise by the Faraglioni, swim in hidden coves, and—sea conditions permitting—visit the Blue Grotto.
