Amalfi Coast for two
Amalfi Coast, Italy · 3-day couples getaway · 13 places
By ArrivLast checked
Cliffside villages, lemon-grove lunches, and boat days on impossible blue water. The good part of a trip like this is the hour after lunch when nothing is booked, and you decide on the spot. Do that for 3 days in Amalfi Coast with the sightseeing loaded into the mornings, so that hour survives. Arrive with a soft landing: drop bags, walk a neighborhood, and save the big ticket for when you're settled. This guide maps 13 hand-picked places across positano, amalfi & ravello, and eat & drink in Amalfi Coast, Italy, grouped the way you would use them once you are on the ground. Treat the order as a starting point, since your flights and your hotel will bend it anyway. Duplicate the trip in Arriv, drag the stops that do not suit you, add the hotel, and send the link to whoever else is coming.

How to use this Amalfi Coast guide
- Follow the day-by-day order as a starting spine, because it already accounts for what sits near what. 3 days is the intended pace, and once you duplicate the trip you can stretch it or compress it to fit the flights.
- Day 1 assumes you are checked in and moving, so the first big block starts on a morning that is already yours. Land the night before if the schedule allows it.
- 13 stops carry a note about reservations, timing, or where to eat after the main event. Read those first, because they are the ones that change what you end up booking.
- The lists are themed on purpose, which is why they hold together as sets: Positano, Amalfi & Ravello, Eat & drink, and more. Use them when you have finished the scheduled stops and still have an evening to fill.
- Pin the map so you have it on your phone at the airport. Duplicate into Arriv when you are ready to lock dates, add hotels, and share the plan with everyone coming to Amalfi Coast.

Where to go in Amalfi Coast
13 places across 4 themed lists — use these when you want options beyond the day plan.
Positano
Via del Brigantino, 84017 Positano SA, Italy
The postcard beach under the tumbling town, and once you have rented two loungers, the sensible move is to stay put all day.
Nocelle, Positano, SA, Italy
A clifftop trail with the whole coast at your feet, though you want to start early and wear real shoes.
P.za Flavio Gioia, 84017 Positano SA, Italy
The majolica-dome church at the heart of town, which is the landmark everyone navigates by.
Amalfi & Ravello
Piazza Duomo, 1, 84011 Amalfi SA, Italy
Climb the striped-stone staircase, because the classic photo only works from partway up it.
Piazza Duomo, 84010 Ravello SA, Italy
Terraced gardens hanging over the sea, and this is the view that inspired Wagner, which the signage will remind you of.
Via Santa Chiara, 26, 84010 Ravello SA, Italy
The Terrace of Infinity, which you should save for late afternoon, because that is when the light does the work.
Eat & drink
Via Tagliata, 32B, 84017 Positano SA, Italy
Family-run with no menu, so they keep bringing food until you tell them to stop, and the sunset seating is the one to book.
Via Cristoforo Colombo, 30, 84017 Positano SA, Italy
Aperitivo with the best terrace view in town, so arrive before sunset if you want one of those tables.
Spiaggia di Laurito, Positano, SA, Italy
Reachable only by the free boat from Positano, which is half the fun, and the thing to order is grilled mozzarella on lemon leaves.
Viale Pasitea, 100, 84017 Positano SA, Italy
Light breakfast and fresh juices, which is all you want before a day that starts with a climb.
Boat day
Marina Grande, Capri, NA, Italy
Ferry over for the day, and the shortlist is the Blue Grotto, the chairlift to Anacapri, and a Capri lemon spritz before the boat back.
84010 Furore, SA, Italy
A tiny beach under a road bridge at the head of a narrow fjord, which is why almost nobody finds it.
Grotta dello Smeraldo, Conca dei Marini, SA, Italy
A sea cave that glows green from below, which only works when the light is right.
