Itinerary
Day 1
Private vintage Fiat 500 photo tour from Positano to Amalfi with scenic stops, 1 hour free time in Amalfi, then return to Positano. Recommended start time: 14:30 (also available 09:30).
Meet at Bar Internazionale — check-in and quick briefing
Meet your driver/guide at Bar Internazionale in Positano (Via G. Marconi) for a 10-minute check-in, safety briefing and outfit/pose tips before boarding the vintage Fiat.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive 10 minutes early to sign in and take a pre-tour coffee — the bar is a local meeting point with shaded seating.
- Light clothing and layers work best in May; bring a small bag (the Fiat has very limited luggage space).
- If you want a particular photo style (e.g., retro or candid), tell the guide now so they can plan poses and stops.
Positano seaside photo stop — Spiaggia Grande viewpoint
Short photo stop at Spiaggia Grande for iconic shots of the pastel houses and the beach with the vintage Fiat in frame.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the guide to park the Fiat where it catches the light on the houses — best for classic Positano photos.
- Keep sunglasses nearby for stylish portraits, but also plan a few with them off to capture natural smiles.
- This stop is popular — a quick 15-minute window avoids the biggest crowds and keeps the tour on schedule.
Coastal drive on SS163 Amalfitana (Positano → Praiano)
Relaxing scenic drive along the famous Amalfi Coast road (SS163) with sweeping sea views — the drive itself is part of the experience.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit on the sea-facing side for the best photo opportunities through the curves; tell your driver which side you prefer.
- Road is narrow and winding; hold onto small items and keep phones ready for quick shots when the guide signals.
- Listen to the guide’s directions for safe photo moments — do not step into traffic for pictures.
First stop — Marina di Praia, Praiano (photo moment)
Short scenic stop at Marina di Praia, Praiano: pebble beach and dramatic cliffs provide a cinematic backdrop for photos.
Tips from local experts:
- The cove light is softer here — great for romantic, backlit portraits; ask the guide for a low-angle shot.
- There are a few steps to access parts of the beach; wear comfortable shoes if you want a close-up shot on the stones.
- If you’d like a seaside espresso after photos, the small cafés nearby serve quick drinks and are quieter than Positano.
Coastal transfer — Praiano to Amalfi via SS163
Drive the remaining coastal stretch toward Amalfi with unique cliffside viewpoints en route.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask the driver to pause briefly at any small pullout that catches your eye — these impromptu stops make memorable photos.
- Keep jackets handy; the sea breeze can feel cooler on open stretches even in May.
- Enjoy the relaxed conversation with your guide — they often share local anecdotes that make for great story captions.
Second stop — Duomo / Piazza (short photo) + 1 hour free time in Amalfi
Arrive in Amalfi for a short Fiat photo by the cathedral followed by 60 minutes free time to explore the Duomo, shop or grab a quick bite.
Tips from local experts:
- Head first to Piazza Duomo for the signature shot with the cathedral; the guide will pose you near the Fiat for classic Amalfi photos.
- Use your free hour to wander the narrow lanes — Pasticceria Pansa is a great romantic spot for pastries and coffee if you want a quick, local treat.
- If you prefer a quieter experience, walk a few streets away from the main square to find intimate craft shops and fewer crowds.
Return drive — Amalfi back to Positano on SS163
After free time, board the Fiat for the scenic return to Positano with a final coastal run along the Amalfi road.
Tips from local experts:
- Sit back and enjoy the final coastal views — late-afternoon light in May is flattering for relaxed portraits through the windows.
- If you bought any ceramics or souvenirs in Amalfi, place them safely in soft bags — the Fiat’s trunk space is small.
- Ask the guide for suggestions for a romantic dinner in Positano when you return; they know which terraces have the best sunset views.
Drop-off at Bar Internazionale — tour end
Return to the original meeting point in Positano. The guide will help with any last photos and unloading small purchases.
Tips from local experts:
- Plan your next stop (dinner or a rooftop cocktail) before leaving — the guide can recommend romantic terraces nearby.
- If you want printed or larger-format photos, ask the guide whether they offer higher-resolution images or suggestions for local print shops.
- Tip the guide/driver in cash if you enjoyed personalized service — small gratuities are customary and appreciated.
Special moment — Rooftop cocktail at Le Sirenuse (optional)
Cap your experience with an optional romantic cocktail or aperitivo at Le Sirenuse's terrace — famous for views over Positano (reservation recommended).
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a terrace seat in advance; request a sunset-facing table for the most romantic ambiance.
- Dress smart-casual — Le Sirenuse enforces a refined dress code for evening service.
- If you're continuing to dinner, ask for a recommendation — the hotel staff will suggest local restaurants that match your mood.
