With your driver handling the logistics, you’ll have plenty of time to stroll through charming courtyard markets, browse artisan boutiques for linen, handmade sandals, and local jewelry, and cool off with a refreshing granita al limone made from fresh Amalfi lemons. The brilliant blues, vibrant architecture, and gentle Mediterranean breeze create a scene so picturesque, it feels almost surreal.

Next, your driver will take you to Ravello, perched high atop Mount Cerreto, where you’ll enjoy a leisurely lunch on a panoramic terrace with spectacular coastal views. Afterward, explore the romantic gardens of Villa Rufolo, famous for hosting Ravello’s world-renowned summer music festival.

Finally, you’ll journey to historic Amalfi, where your driver will drop you off for a visit to the magnificent 11th-century Cathedral of Saint Andrew, a masterpiece of medieval architecture and the heart of the town’s spiritual and cultural life.
