The coastal road begins after Sorrento, and runs through the fishing villages of Praiano, Furore and Conca dei Marini, and continues until it reaches the busy square of Amalfi, which is situated on the seafront along a beautiful, pebbled beach. Behind this square lies the main shopping street of Amalfi and along the pedestrian street are various bars and cafés, not to mention the shops selling limoncello, casual clothing, swimwear, gifts, basic groceries, and of course, ceramics. Amalfi has some interesting sights to explore including the most spectacular cathedral along the coast and the paper factory and its museum. Your driver will suggest excellent local cuisine to satisfy anyone’s taste preferences.
Unlike Pompeii and even Herculaneum, Paestum can often be deserted. The gleaming white marble of ancient Greek temples, set against the dark brown hills and deep blue sea, provide a very Greek experience in Italy. Today, the preserved temple of Hera II (once believed to be the Temple of Poseidon) is one of three. (See also the temple of Hera I) Part of the interior is a colonnade with two rows of columns, including the superimposed upper level which supported the roof, therefore illustrating the standard Doric form: 6 columns on the end and 14 columns on the side.
We recommend hiring a guide for the sites and to visit the archaeological museum in the vicinity, which contains a rich collection of Greek art and antiquities.
This tour includes a Professional English-speaking driver. Due to strict Italian laws & regulations that protect officially licensed guides, our drivers can only comment and explain the sights from inside the vehicle and are not allowed to do so once they are outside the vehicle. A guide, where needed, can be hired on request at an extra cost.', 'Comfortable walking shoes are suggested for this tour.
