Amalfi Coast, Italy - 7 day itinerary
Expert Guidance
This is a perfect slow-travel Amalfi Coast plan—you’ve chosen one of the best bases (Minori/Maiori) for a calmer stay while still accessing the iconic highlights. I’ve structured this into a relaxed 7-day flow with minimal hotel changes, scenic coastal drives, and plenty of beach + food time.
Scenic Experiences You MUST Do
- Lemon Trail (Minori ↔ Maiori)
- Amalfi coastal road drive (dramatic cliffs)
- Ferry rides (best views of coastline)
- Capri boat ride (Blue Grotto)
Smart Travel Tips
- Use car only for arrival & Amalfi transfer
- Prefer ferries over driving (less stress, more scenic)
- Book Capri/Blue Grotto early (weather dependent)
- Stay central → walkable towns
