Friday - Day 2  Afer breakfast, we will take a bus (included) to the breathtaking city of Positano driving along the remarkable Amalfi Coast road. This beautiful city built into the cliffs of the coast is the perfect place to relax on the beach, swim, shop, and try some of Italy's finest seafood.

Approx. 4:30pm departure from Positano back to Sorrento to enjoy the rest of your afternoon and evening or get ready for the night.

Saturday - Day 3  Breakfast included.  Early morning departure to take the 25min. ferry over to the island of Capri (included). For those up for it, we will be leading a hike to the very top of Capri for some magnificent views over the entire island and Bay of Naples (about 2.5 hours round trip so make sure to have good shoes - for those wanting the view but aren’t up for hike, or if the trail conditions aren’t ideal, there is a gondola to the top of Monte Solaro that you can take for the same stunning views). For those who do not want to do the hike the leader will take you to Capri Town where you can explore its shopping, famous gardens, or just soak up the sun on the beach near the port area. We’ll take you to Capri’s best panini shop for the world’s best “Caprese” sandwich, followed by an optional several hour boat cruise around the island where you can swim, BYOB, and see the famous Blue Grotto - one of the 7 natural wonders of the world!
