Our one day Amalfi Coast Road Trip was everything we thought it would be.  Read this One day Amalfi Coast Drive Road trip Itinerary<\/strong> to see how you can cover the highlights (including a visit to Pompeii) even if you have only a day here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cliffs,<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Costiera Amalfitana<\/strong> in Italian, the Amalfi coastline traces the southern shore of Salerno Gulf in Campania, southern Italy can be reached from Naples, the Italian capital of pizza.  <\/strong>The Amalfi drive <\/em>(formally Strada Statale 163<\/em>) – from Sorrento to Amalfi is a narrow road along the Tyrrhenian Sea with Dramatic mountain cliffs, emerald blue waters, pastel-colored villages, scented lemon groves .. the road is twisty and narrow.  We took a train into from Naples to Sorrento and based our selves there. This beautiful Mediterranean town overlooks the Bay of Naples with many viewpoints of Vesuvius<\/strong> and Isle of Capri.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and you have to see it with your own eyes to understand why… or maybe these photos will help \ud83d\ude42 We did the drive up to Positano<\/strong> and Amalfi from Sorrento<\/strong>, stopping at some breathtaking viewpoints along the way. No, we did not ride on a Vespa, that is still on my bucket list though. We hired a car and driver since it was the last stop on our Italian vacation<\/a> and we wanted to enjoy the views rather than drive the narrow roads.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped at the Emerald Grotto on the way and had lunch in an amazing place called Calajanara Restaurant<\/a>. This place is in my Top 5 Best Restaurants I have been to so far.  Amazing views of Capri and Mediterranean and equally amazing locally sourced food that tantalizes the palate.  Although I would have liked to embrace La Dolce Vita – <\/strong><\/em>savoring and cherish the sweet Italian way of life, we managed the Amalfi Coast Drive in a day – a memorable driving trip to Positano and Amalfi from Sorrento!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
