Day-by-Day Itinerary
This plan covers the essentials without burnout. Adjust based on opening hours, weather, and your stamina. Most days are 4–6 hours of activity with long meals and downtime built in.
Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Amalfi Coast with Positano cliff walks. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
Capri day trip + Blue Grotto. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Path of the Gods hike. Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Lemon grove tour in Sorrento. Pair with a long lunch — Try gnocchi alla sorrentina anywhere — Sorrento is its birthplace.
Ravello terrace sunset. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
Use this day for whatever you didn't get to: a museum, a hammam, a long lazy lunch. The best memories come from unplanned hours.
