The Amalfi Drive from Sorrento
The "Amalfi Drive" is said to be the most spectacular in Europe and from Sorrento the winding cliff top road offers breathtaking panoramic views at every turn. Each spot is a world of its own, a fantastic world which dazzles the imagination and inspires unforgettable impressions. We reach Amalfi, which gives its name to the whole coast on which it lies. This was once a thriving Marine Republic, power-full and prosperous, and now a thriving holiday resort.
The unmistakeable cluster of white tightly packed houses rising up the hillside is dominated by the beautiful Cathedral which stands superbly on the top of a great flight of steps leading up from the main square. Housed in the magnificent
Cathedral are the remains of the Patron Saint of Amalfi and also Scotland - Saint Andrew. From Amalfi we visit Ravello which nestles eleven hundred feet above the sea in the mountainside.
We visit the Villa Rufolo (Entrance Fees NOT included) which gave the musician Richard Wagner the inspiration to create some of his most famous works.
Please Note that there are driving restrictions to return back along the Amalfi drive. Return to resort approx. between 4.30pm and 5.30pm.
