Amalfi Coast

The Amalfi Coast is a spectacularly scenic stretch of Italian coastline, located in the southern part of the country. It is made up of six towns: Amalfi, Atrani, Cesara, Maiori, Minori and Ravello and has been a popular tourist destination for over a thousand years. Drive along the coast on the Amalfi Drive, which is lined with beautiful lime-tree-shaded houses overlooking the sea. The area has even been immortalized by many artists and musicians.

I stayed in a VRBO in Praiano a few years ago. It was great. Centrally located. Walkable to the market and a few restaurants. A golf cart ride to Sorrento and Positano, without the crowds. A hike down the cliff to the beach. Fortunately, there were a few bar stops on the hike back up. 🤪 And a great little limoncello maker in town. 🍋

I live here in Rome and worked in tourism for almost 3 years (prior to covid). This is something I love helping with and actually am starting a private company for travel planning next year (currently expecting first child and tourism is still not up and going as you know). You've picked great destinations! And you're not going overboard with trying to add too much and giving each location the time it deserves! You have a couple great options. First get a RT flight to either Florence or Rome. You could fly into Rome, spend 3 days, get through jet lag, head to Florence and spend 3 days, enjoy a Tuscan wine tour, then take the train to Amalfi for 4 days, it's romantic, it's your anniversary and there are lovely little day trips you could take to the islands, such as Capri, or Napoli for piiiiiizzzaaa! Then spend your last 2 days in Rome before you fly out. Choosing Rome for your most days isn't just because I'm biased, but first you'll probably have a bit of jet lag so a lazy exploring day is ideal, it's your largest city with so many sites to visit, typically cheaper to fly in and out of and cuts down on train time since it is in the middle. Please feel free to let me know if you want help with Eurorail pass, non touristy restaurants, gelaterias, which sites to see at each location, best tour company's to deal with, especially so you're not dealing with lines at places like the Colosseum or Vatican, etc. Congratulations on 10 years, I'm sure you'll love your trip! ❤❤
