The Best of Both Worlds: A Honeymoon in Rome and the Amalfi Coast

Itinerary

1. Day 1 Arrival in Rome

   The capital of Italy is a vibrant, energetic and stylish city. While thoroughly modern in sensibility, Rome is also home to some of the world’s most important works of classic art and architecture. This city has been an epicenter for culture, politics and religion for more than 2,500 years. From the Spanish Steps to the Vatican, there are more than enough sights to keep even the most active tourists busy and even somewhere as popular as Rome you can find places just off the tourist trail and bustling with locals. But it’s also nice to slow down and enjoy Rome’s famous cafes and restaurants, which can be just as beguiling as the buildings. Lounge with an espresso on the Campo de Fiori and watch the changing light on the fountains and the facades. Visit the Vatican and explore some of the world’s most beautiful churches. Rome really comes alive at night, when restaurants and wine bars bring a renewed vitality to the city. You’ll also have opportunities for day trips to local vineyards, olive groves, and other places producing regional delicacies. No matter what your interests, or what kind of holiday you’re looking for, Rome will be an enjoyable destination.

   After you land at Rome's Fiumicino airport you will be met in the arrivals hall by a driver holding a sign with your name on. The journey to your accommodation in the center of Rome should take around an hour.

   Our representative will then meet with you to answer any questions you have and to get you settled for the rest of your trip.

   

   Roman Holiday in Love

   There are many ways to make your stay in Rome even more romantic. For a little light exercise along with your romance, head to the man-made lake in the Villa Borghese Gardens. For just a few euros you and your beloved can take to the water and circumnavigate the impressive Temple of Asclepius that sits on the island in the middle.

   Enjoy a spa treatment themed after some Italian classic wines. Choose from the grand Brunello di Montalcino or a bubbly Prosecco experience, and as well as a tasting of the fruit of the vine itself that theme runs all the way through your two-hour treatment, from grape seed scrubs to scented bubbles. Let your local JayWay contact know when you'd like to schedule your visit and we'll make a reservation directly with the spa, located right in the heart of Rome, by the Pantheon.

4. Day 4 Traveling to Positano by Train / Arrival in Positano

   Today you're off to the beautiful Amalfi Coast. The fastest and most economical way to get there is to take a 1-hour train from Rome to Naples and then have our driver pick you up from the train station to take you directly to your accommodations in Positano. We've included standard class tickets in your package but an upgrade to a higher class is possible for an extra fee. The whole journey will take a little over 2 hours.

   Positano by Private Transfer

   Upgrade for an additional cost

   Of all the towns that constitute the Amalfi Coast, Positano is almost certainly the most photographed. A cascade of color rolling down steep hillsides towards the sea. The Amalfi Coast road snakes through the town, providing the main means of connectivity to the outside world. The only other option is by boat and there are regular ferries to the other Amalfi Coast towns and to Capri island in the Bay of Naples, so day-tripping is definitely a possibility. Positano's coarse-grain sand public beaches can fill up fast on sunny days but there are quieter stretches to be found and a water taxi ride will take you to somewhere more secluded. Positano is at one end of the Path of the Gods, a demanding hiking trail that will take you inland to the town of Agerola, but the journey is its own reward, with some killer views along the way.

   Our driver will bring you directly to your accommodation in Amalfi Coast.

   

   Aperitif on the Edge

   Explore Positano's city center by strolling through its tiny alleys and climbing the many stairs that cross the city from the beach to the higher areas. Visit the local artisan shops selling different local products, and finally, head to the legendary Music on the Rocks, a bar located on the edge of the cliff, where you can enjoy dinner and drinks with a stunning view of the sea.

Excursions at sunset are particularly pleasant, and highly recommended.

   Suggestion to explore on your own

7. Day 7 Your Third Full Day in Positano

   Pompeii and Herculaneum

   Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD, spewing lava and volcanic ash for days, devastating the Ancient Roman towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Pompeii certainly draws all the crowds, but Herculaneum is well worth seeing. The effects of the eruption were different in this smaller town populated mostly by the wealthy rather than by the common folk as Pompeii was, so you'll see different aspects of the history of the period and the way people lived by visiting both sites. The volcano itself can be seen from far away and can be visited in combination with Pompeii on a group day trip. If you want to see all three sites, which is just about achievable, we suggest having a private driver for the day.
