Salerno Shore Excursions & Amalfi Coast Tours - Private Trips from the Cruise Port
Salerno is a working Italian cruise port about 50 kilometers south of Naples and the closest port to the Amalfi Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of cliffside towns rising straight from the Tyrrhenian Sea. Positano is about 70 minutes from the pier and Amalfi about 35 minutes along the coastal route, with the drive itself winding above the water past terraced lemon groves and whitewashed villages. Pompeii, the ancient Roman city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, is about 35 kilometers and 35 to 45 minutes from Salerno. Paestum, a second UNESCO World Heritage Site about 25 miles south of the port, holds three of the best-preserved Greek temples outside of Greece itself, dating to the 6th and 5th centuries BC.
Our most popular Salerno shore excursion is the Pompeii and Amalfi Coast private tour, a 9 to 10 hour day combining the ruins of Pompeii with stops in Positano and Amalfi. For guests who want the full day dedicated to the coastline, the Amalfi Coast private tour spends 8 to 9 hours driving the route with time in both towns. The Highlights of Amalfi private tour is a shorter 6 hour option built around about 4 hours of free time in Amalfi itself. For a different route to the coast, the private boat excursion to Capri runs 6 to 7 hours by sea, passing coastal villages and hidden coves on the way to the island. All Salerno tours from Private Shore Trips include an English-speaking driver-guide, a private vehicle for your group only, and our back-to-ship guarantee. Reserve with a $50 deposit.
