Read Our TripAdvisor Reviews9 Days from Positano to Sorrento
See exactly how each day unfolds—from your Naples arrival and first evening in Positano to three nights on Capri and the final days in Sorrento.
Chapter One
Days 1–2
A Positano arrival, quiet Ravello gardens and Amalfi’s maritime heart.
Day 1
Positano is the opening chapter: colorful buildings, a vibrant beach and the unmistakable energy of a village cascading toward the sea.
Your Naples Airport meet-and-greet and private transfer bring you to Positano. This afternoon, meet your fellow travelers and your Now Journey Tour Captain for an included Discovery Walk that helps you learn your way around this lovely, vertical village. Enjoy leisure time before dinner.
Day 2
A day of quiet gardens, maritime history and coastal views connects Ravello’s peaceful heights with Amalfi’s lively waterfront.
Walk through peaceful lanes, hidden gardens and sunlit terraces. At Villa Rufolo, once a favorite of composer Richard Wagner, explore gardens opening to sweeping coastal views. Continue to Villa Cimbrone and its celebrated Terrace of Infinity.
Descend to Amalfi and visit the Duomo di Amalfi, whose dramatic staircase and intricate facade recall the town’s history as a maritime republic. Enjoy time in the piazzas or along the waterfront before returning to Positano for the balance of the day at leisure.
Chapter Two
Days 3–5
Arrive by water, orient with your Tour Captain and keep two full days for the island.
Day 3
Arriving by boat, Capri reveals itself slowly—dramatic cliffs rising from impossibly blue water.
After checking in and freshening up, begin with Capri’s iconic open-air taxi ride along scenic island roads. Continue on foot through the lively Piazzetta, hidden viewpoints and panoramas over the Tyrrhenian Sea. Stories of Roman retreats and Capri’s creative golden era bring the island’s past into focus.
Enjoy time at leisure for a seaside lunch, boutique shopping or simply taking in the island. In the evening, gather for an included Welcome to Capri Dinner with cuisine, paired wines and premium beverages.
Day 4
Settle into the rhythm of island life with a full day shaped around discovery, relaxation or a little of both.
Consider ascending to Anacapri by chairlift to Monte Solaro, exploring Capri’s Roman past, taking a scenic coastal walk, booking a spa experience, relaxing by the pool or browsing the island’s boutiques and cafes. The Blue Grotto is another optional way to experience the island from the water.
Day 5
With Capri now familiar, go deeper: revisit a favorite place, discover a quieter corner or simply slow down.
Perhaps return to Anacapri, linger over a seaside lunch, walk through the Piazzetta once more or explore an island corner you missed. This unstructured day is an intentional part of the Journey’s relaxed pacing.
Final Chapter
Days 6–9
A bay crossing, local flavors, leisure time and a warm finale on the peninsula.
Day 6
Cross back to the mainland for a relaxed Sorrento finale overlooking the Bay of Naples.
After a leisurely breakfast, travel to Sorrento, check in and freshen up. Your Tour Captain leads a Discovery Walk into the heart of town, from lively Piazza Tasso to its shops, streets and gathering places.
Enjoy the balance of the afternoon at leisure before an included Welcome to Sorrento Dinner hosted at one of Now Journey’s favorite local restaurants.
Day 7
An easygoing walk shares Sorrento’s stories, everyday rhythm and one of its most recognizable local flavors.
Join your Tour Captain for a walk through quiet piazzas and vibrant local corners, hearing about Sorrento’s Greek and Roman roots and its long connection with travelers drawn to the Bay of Naples.
Visit a local limoncello producer for a complimentary tasting made with the fragrant lemons of the region. The remainder of the day is at leisure. Optional possibilities include Old Town Naples and Herculaneum, boutiques and cafes, or an optional dinner with your Tour Captain. Optional activities and dinner are not included unless specifically stated.
Day 8
One final full day gives you time to enjoy Sorrento and the coast at your own pace before gathering to celebrate.
Explore Sorrento, consider an optional excursion, rent a Vespa, take a cooking class or simply settle into a favorite cafe. Optional experiences such as Old Town Naples and Herculaneum may also be available.
Day 9
Say arrivederci to the coast, continue home or ask about extending your time in southern Italy.
Additional nights on the Amalfi Coast or extensions to Sardegna, Sicily and other points can be requested.

Amalfi was once one of the Mediterranean’s influential maritime republics. Its seafaring history shaped the town’s trading traditions, architecture and identity long before the coast became an emblem of modern travel.
A detail worth noticingThe Duomo’s staircase and layered facade turn the main piazza into a theatrical threshold between civic life and sacred space.
Capri has drawn emperors, artists, writers and travelers because its isolation is paired with extraordinary openness: limestone cliffs, wide sea horizons and paths that move quickly from lively gathering places to quiet viewpoints.
Look forThe contrast between the social energy of the Piazzetta and the island’s calmer lanes and coastal panoramas.
Sorrento sits on a tufa terrace above the Bay of Naples, a position that has connected it to ancient routes, citrus cultivation and generations of travelers. Its evening passeggiata still gives the town a lived-in local rhythm.
A detail worth noticingThe scent of local lemons and the changing light across the bay toward Vesuvius.
