If you are travelling as a couple and looking for an experience to surprise and delight your other half, this experience could be the icing on the cake of your Amalfi Coast holiday!
Yes, because we are talking about an excursion by boat in a typical traditional gozzo at the most beautiful hour: the time when the sun slowly begins to set, rendering even more evocative and romantic this landscape that – let’s face it! – already at any hour takes your breath away with its beauty!
What can you expect from this experience?
In Amalfi you will take a seat on a traditional type of gozzo to reach the beautiful Praiano.
Along the stretch of sea you will sail, you will get to see the Amalfi Coast from a truly fascinating angle, catching glimpses of beaches, natural inlets, and details that you could not see from the road.
For example, you will see the ancient watchtowers that formed the defence system of the small villages along the coast.
Once past Amalfi, you will glimpse the beaches of Duoglio and Santa Croce, with its famous ‘Lovers’ Arch’.
Next you will stop in Conca dei Marini, a splendid seaside village, famous for its delicious sfogliatella Santa Rosa, after which it will be the turn of Furore, with its evocative and fairy-tale Fiordo.
Final stop on the tour will be Praiano, where you will stop to enjoy the view, sip a drink, and bathe in the most pleasant and relaxing hour.
📍 How to reach the starting point
The starting point of this experience is the beautiful town of Amalfi.
You are in luck: your destination is really easy to reach.
You can get to Amalfi:
✅ Travelling on board the Travelmar Ferries, which leave approximately every hour from Amalfi and stop in Vietri sul Mare, Cetara, Maiori, Minori. The journey time from Salerno to Amalfi is about 60 minutes. Remember that the Coast is taken by storm by travellers and tourists: book your ticket in advance!
✅ On board the SITA SUD buses: they leave Salerno (Via Vinciprova) every hour and stop in all the towns along the Amalfi Coast.
You can purchase bus tickets at all authorised retailers displaying the "UNICO" sign or using the UNICO App, which allows you to purchase tickets directly from your smartphone, in total convenience.
✅ By car or scooter. If you travel by car, you can use the LUNA ROSSA car park, immediately after the tunnel connecting Atrani and Amalfi.
However, given the intense traffic that characterises the Amalfi Coast during the peak months, we advise you to avoid the car if you are travelling in July and August, especially at weekends, when the SS163 can become a real trap due to the frequent traffic jams along the way.
On top of that, you may find the car parks all full. If you want to check the number of available parking spaces, type in "Info Parking Amalfi" on Google, to have access to a simple interface that in real time indicates the available parking spaces in every car park in the town.
📣 Tip
Returning to Amalfi gives you a great opportunity for another tour of the town.
For example, a refreshing lemon granita, to be eaten with a view of the Duomo, would be just the thing!
Or you could walk to nearby Atrani, to end your day on a pleasant note, sipping an aperitif in its characteristic ‘piazzetta’.
If you want to live a daydream, this is the experience for you! Book it now!
