Excursion Leisurely positano by motorlaunch tour at Amalfi

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Treat yourself to the beauty and wonder of the world-renowned Amalfi Coast in this picturesque visit to Positano. Deemed by UNESCO to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is a beguiling combination of great beauty and gripping drama: coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous crags, picturesque towns and lush forests.

After tendering ashore, board a private motorlaunch for the approximately 45 minute drive along the stunning Amalfi Coast to Positano.

Positano

Upon arrival in Positano start a short walk to the city's main centre. Following a brief introductory tour, continue exploring on your own or browse the designer boutiques, souvenir shops and art galleries found along the main street and small, narrow alleys.

Positano is one of Italy's most romantic vacation spots and one of the top Amalfi Coast towns to visit. Built vertically on the face of a cliff, it started out as a fishing village and became popular with writers and artists in the 1950's. Today it's a fashionable resort yet still retains its charm. Positano is a pedestrian town (with many stairs) and its pretty pastel colored houses and flowers make it very picturesque.

Built around a small sheltered bay, many of the houses can only be reached via steep staircases. Your visit allows you to take in the unique setting and special ambience of Positano.

At the appointed time, rejoin your guide and proceed to the motorlaunch pick-up point for the return to the ship along the Amalfi Coast.
