Chapter 1: Amalfi Coast Welcomes You!
DAY 1: WELCOME TO THE AMAZING AMALFI COAST
The Journey begins in Positano (in Italian meaning 'A Place to Stop'), known for its colorful buildings and homes as well as a vibrant beach and nightlife. We can't wait to welcome you to the village and the stunning view from the Amalfi Coast. Whether you arrive from elsewhere, enjoy a pre-tour hotel room or if you've simply arrived in Naples today, the Amazing Amalfi Coast Journey will absolutely delight your senses and your heart.
Discovery Walk: Positano
This afternoon you will meet your fellow travelers and your Now Journey Tour Captain for an included Discovery Walk of Positano to learn your way around this lovely (and vertical) village. Then enjoy some time at leisure before meeting later for a wonderful dining experience Amalfitana style.
Welcome to Positano Dinner
Now Journey dinners are more like dining "events" featuring all inclusive premium beverages and ordering from the menu. Tonight, we introduce you to one of Positano's famous chefs to enjoy his culinary arts.
Journey Cuisine is authentically Italian: Family-owned restaurants farm to table
Journey’s approach to dining is unique in the travel world (just like the regions of Italy). We include Premium Beverages (wine, soda and cocktails) and you choose your dinner from the menu. The Italian chefs and families are proud of their delicious dishes which hail from each of the regions in which Journey travels. From Lombardia and beautiful Lake Como to the Veneto region with Venice all the way through to the Amalfi Coast and Campania, you will enjoy a variety of dishes featuring pasta, seafood combined plates, vegetable inspired contorni and of course Tuscan inspired dishes. While in Italy we will enjoy locally grown produce where the concept of nostrale, or home-grown, is so evident.

Welcome to one of the most stunning destinations in the world. Just off the coast, a great rock soars like a dream lost in the cobalt blue sea that surrounds it. This Mediterranean jewel, yearned for and exalted in some of the world's most famous lyric poetry, is the island of Capri. The vivid fragrance of flowers and splashes of color represent a huge portion of the magic of the entire Amalfi Coast. According to some scholars, the etymology of the name Capri may be traced back to the Greek word Kapros(wild boar). Others believe instead that Capri is derived from the Latin word Capreae (goats).
Today's Adventure: Isle of Capri
Today upon arrival we will check-in, freshen up and enjoy a tour of Capri complete with our open-air taxi driving experience and walking tour. Then tonight enjoy a special welcome dinner on the island.
Caesar Augustus was the first to discover the charm of Capri when he visited the island in 29 BC. So taken with the island's beauty that he traded the nearby fertile Ischia for it with the city of Naples. This marked the beginning of Augustan rule. He was subsequently followed by his successor Tiberius who embarked on an intense building program between 27 and 37 A.D, resulting in the construction of 12 villas.
