Town Square Piazza Vescovado
After a stroll through Ravello’s picturesque Villa take a break at the town’s main square- Piazza Vescovado. This is a great place to people-watch and grab a bite to eat or drink. You can even get some shopping done at the Piazza. Locally made ceramics, canvas paintings, and cloth handbags make for great souvenirs from Ravello. The main square offers gorgeous views of the mountains that surround the region and serve as a backdrop to the ocean. The piazza is also home to Ravello’s Cathedral which was designed in Romanesque architecture and is definitely worth a visit.
Path of Gods Hike
People come from all over the world to hike along the scenic walking trails around Ravello. A great way to explore the coastline that surrounds Ravello is on a hike through the Path of Gods. This 7 km path stretches from Bomerano to Nocelle (with many small towns in between) and offers some incredible views of the Amalfi Coast. The hiking trail is just a short drive from Ravello and totally worth the trip. In order to beat the crowds and enjoy some solitary views at the top of the cliff, plan your time to begin your hike at 7 AM. The trail will take you across stone houses, wildflowers and forests. You can even catch a glimpse of growing vines that line the hillside. Other Hiking Options include: Ravello to Amalfi – a downhill walk that takes an hour. You can catch a bus back to Ravello. Ravello to Maiori – known as the Path of the Lemons or Sentiero dei Lemoni, this 2.4 mile trail takes around 1 hour.
Lido One Fire Beach
One Fire Beach is one of the charming beach resorts located at the Gavitella Beach in Praiano (a short drive from Ravello). Here you'll find abundant sunshine, the fragrance of lemon in the air, a laid-back atmosphere and lighthearted fun. Dont' be put off by the 400 steps to reach this beach (descend from Piazza San Gennaro in Praiano), because when you get there you'll be rewarded with stunning views that take in Positano and Capri, sparkling turquoise water, and a clean beach neatly outfitted with umbrellas, chairs and games, as well as ice-cold beer at the bar and a restaurant for dining.
Marina Grande Beach
If you want a large sprinkling of Amalfi Coast glam, and maybe to spot a celeb or two behind the sunglasses, splurge for a lounger on the coast's "in" beach. Marina Grande (not to be confused with the Marina Grande in the town of Amalfi) is also one of the largest on the coast, at about 300 meters in length.
Maiori Beach
Maiori beach is the largest on the Amalfi Coast at just under a kilometer long and 40 meters wide, and one of the very few that is sandy. Added to that, the afternoon sun is not blocked by cliffs, and in the summer, shines on its sands into the evening.
Villa Cimbrone
Sitting high atop a promontory that offers stunning views of the Mediterranean and the dramatic coastline below, the Villa Cimbrone is the crown laurel of Ravello. The villa is a private 5-star hotel, but the gardens are open to the public and it ranks, perhaps, as the most memorable sight on the Amalfi Coast.
Mamma Agata's Cooking Class
Mamma Agata’s cooking class is a must-try on a trip to Ravello. You will learn how to make a full course meal during the class including starters, the main course, and dessert. You can even visit the garden at Mamma Agata’s home to pick some vegetables for the meal. The class ends with a beautiful lunch on Mamma Agata’s terrace where you get to enjoy your meal with a view of the Mediterranean Sea.
Capri
Capri is set in the blue waters of Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea in the Bay of Naples just off the Sorrentine Peninsula in the southern Italian region of Campania. The island is connected to the mainland all year round with ferries and hydrofoils that run from Naples (Napoli) and Sorrento. There are also ferries from Ischia, Salerno, and the Amalfi Coast (Positano and Amalfi) in the summer months. It takes about 30 minutes to reach Capri from Sorrento and about an hour to reach Capri from Naples by ferry, so is an easy day trip from the mainland. Take a day trip (or two) to Capri by boat!
Blue Grotto of Capri
While visiting Capri, be sure to check out the world famous Blue Grotto Caves. The Blue Grotto is a natural sea cave, 60 meters long and 25 meters wide . The cave mouth is two meters wide but only roughly a meter high, so to enter visitors must board small rowboats which transport a maximum of four passengers. The skipper will have you lay back along the bottom of the boat while he guides you through the opening using a metal chain attached to the cave walls.
Amalfi Coast Sea Kayak
Don't have time to head to Capri to see the Blue Grotto Caves? No worries! Take a local kayak tour along the coast of Amalfi (which is a 15 minute drive from Ravello - there is also hikes between the towns if you are feeling adventurous). This kayak tour is highly recommended if you aren't into all the touristy, more crowded excursions offered in other towns. They offer full and half day tours.
