Cliffside villages above the Tyrrhenian Sea from Sorrento to Salerno. That is what Amalfi Coast Road promises, and it delivers. At about 50 miles (80 km), it is a drive best taken slowly, over 2–3 days, with time to pull over whenever the view demands it on the way from Sorrento to Salerno.
Open this route in XCRSNSetting out from Sorrento
Start early, with a full tank and a loose plan. Sorrento is where the road begins, and the first miles set the rhythm for everything that follows.
The first big moment is Positano. Give it the time it deserves; it is why many people make this trip at all.
Along the way
The road strings together Positano and Amalfi. Each one makes a natural break, and Amalfi sits close to the middle if you want to split the drive with a night's sleep.
Do not miss Ravello gardens.
Arriving in Salerno
Save energy for the final stretch: Path of the Gods is still ahead.
By the end you will have seen Positano, Ravello gardens and Path of the Gods, and you will understand why Amalfi Coast Road belongs on any list of great drives.
