After meeting at the port at 8:30 a.m. we'll head for Positano via the motorway A3 making a stop on the way to taste the famous Neapolitan coffee and "Sfogliatella" pastry. This will also give us the opportunity to visit one of the factories where experienced craftsmen manufacture the world known cameos. Cameos are miniature bas-reliefs that ancient Roman ladies wore as jewels and which have been found in good quantities in the excavations of Pompeii. Simply made from seashells, the value is determined more by the quality of the art rather than that of the gold or silver of the frame.

After this short brake we'll get back on the motorway and drive on it for another 15 minutes and from the city of Castellammare we'll begin to drive on the road that follows the coast of the Penisola Sorrentina (Peninsula of Sorrento). We'll make frequent stops to admire breathtaking panoramas. Spectacular overhanging cliffs, the isle of Capri, the city of Naples and the Mount Vesuvius will inspire you to take incredible pictures!

Just before the road enters Sorrento we'll leave it and start to drive over the hills to get back down from them on the opposite side of the peninsula, the one that faces the Gulf of Salerno. Once we'll be on the Salerno side we'll be traveling on the famous "Amalfi Drive", the road that leads to Amalfi. We'll only be going half way on it, just as far as Positano. We'll be making more stops for more panoramas and once we reach Positano we'll have the time to stroll around its enchanting little streets and the ladies will go crazy over the shops selling lemon soaps and perfumes, fashionable clothes and shoes... Lunch can be on the mountain overlooking Positano or in Sorrento by the sea. It depends on the time we'll have and your taste. If you prefer to eat fish and we'll have the time to get to Sorrento for lunch that's what we'll do.

Positano by night

If instead you don't care for fish and you can't wait, we go to the mountain top for good meats and cheeses. Leaving Positano we'll retrace our steps and go over the hills again. If there will be enough time we'll take the scenic route and drive via Sant'Agata where there's a place from which one can see the panorama of both gulfs, the Gulf of Naples and the Gulf of Salerno, standing in one spot.

Sorrento is at the tip of the homonymous peninsula, built on overhanging cliffs. Time can be spent wandering around its colorful streets full of shops selling the typical products: inlaid wooden furniture, embroidery, ceramics and, of course, the famous "Limoncello" liqueur, We'll leave Sorrento in the afternoon and head back towards Naples.
Return to the ship at about 5:30 p.m.
