Positano and Amalfi Excursion from Ischia
- Giovedì e Domenica
- Intera giornata
The itinerary
The Amalfi Coast seen from the sea is a different experience from the one you get driving along the SS163 coastal road: no hairpin bends, no summer traffic, just the coastline gliding slowly by with its houses clinging to the rock, terraced lemon groves and small harbours following one another from Positano to Amalfi. This excursion departs directly from Ischia's main landing points — Forio, Lacco Ameno, Casamicciola and Ischia Porto — so it's convenient no matter which part of the island you're staying on.The first stop is Positano, arguably Italy's most photographed village: pink, yellow and ochre houses cascading down to the small Marina Grande beach, the majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta standing out among the rooftops. Free time on the ground lets you wander the boutiques of Via dei Mulini, sit at a bar overlooking the bay, or simply head down to the beach for a swim before moving on.
The second stop is Amalfi, which gives its name to the whole coast and was for centuries its maritime capital: the Cathedral of Sant'Andrea, with its monumental staircase and black-and-white striped façade, dominates the main square, while the side streets hide the historic Paper Mill and the ceramic workshops typical of the area. Here too the time is organised as free exploration, letting each guest choose between shopping, a cultural visit, or simply a coffee in the square.
This excursion runs on Thursdays and Sundays, a detail worth factoring into your stay: anyone wanting to visit the coast on a different day can consider the twin excursion with the stops reversed, also available on Tuesdays. Travelling by boat, besides avoiding the stress of seasonal traffic on the Amalfi coastal road — among the most congested stretches in Italy during high season — gives a perspective on the coast that's simply impossible to get from land.
This is an excursion suited to virtually everyone: it requires no strenuous walking, the free pace lets you adapt the day to your own energy, and it's particularly recommended for first-time visitors to the Amalfi Coast who want to experience its two most iconic villages in a single day.
