An Amalfi Coast itinerary 7 days (un itinerario di 7 giorni sulla Costiera Amalfitana) is the single most comprehensive Amalfi travel format and the one that adds the 3 specific dimensions that the 5-day program leaves out: the Capri day trip (the most specifically dramatic single Amalfi Coast area day excursion), the Paestum archaeological site (the most specifically important single site within a 50-minute drive of Amalfi that virtually every Amalfi visitor misses), and the specific slower rhythm that allows the Ravello music festival evening, the Praiano sunset aperitivo (pre-dinner drink with snacks), and the Cetara anchovy lunch to happen without rushing to the next town. The Amalfi Coast 7-day itinerary costs approximately €200-300 more than the 5-day version (2 additional nights accommodation) but delivers 60% more specific Amalfi experience.

Amalfi Coast 7-Day Itinerary: The Full Week
Days 1-5: See the Amalfi Coast 5-Day Itinerary
The first 5 days follow the Amalfi Coast 5-Day Itinerary program exactly (Sorrento Day 1, Positano Day 2, Amalfi and Ravello Day 3, Sentiero degli Dei Day 4, Cetara and Vietri Day 5). The 7-day program extends the week with 2 additional days that cover the specific Capri island and the Paestum archaeological detour.
Day 6: Capri Day Trip
Ferry from Sorrento to Capri (the Caremar or SNAV hydrofoil: 25-35 minutes, approximately €20-22 one-way): the most specifically rewarding single Amalfi area day trip. Capri program: avoid the Piazzetta at mid-morning (maximum crowd density 10:30-14:00) and plan the Villa Jovis hike (see the Villa Jovis Capri Guide for the full program) for the 9:30-12:00 morning slot (the most specifically crowd-free single Capri historical site). The Blue Grotto (the Grotta Azzurra. GPS: 40.5617°N, 14.2006°E): the most hyped and the most specifically overpriced single Capri sight (the rowboat entry: €14 entry + €14 rowboat = €28 for a 3-4 minute experience inside the cave), worth visiting if you accept the specific price-to-time-in-cave ratio. The specific alternative for the free Blue Grotto effect: the specific Grotta Verde on the Capri south coast (accessible by 30-minute boat circumnavigation from Marina Piccola: approximately €15 per person) whose specific green-blue light effect (different wavelength from the Azzurra but equally spectacular) has zero waiting queue. The Anacapri cable car alternative (the Monte Solaro chair lift from Anacapri (GPS: 40.5548°N, 14.2173°E): €12 return, 13-minute ride to the 589m summit with the most specifically 360° panoramic single Capri view).
Day 7: Paestum and Departure
Paestum (GPS: 40.4213°N, 15.0049°E, the most specifically important single archaeological site within reach of the Amalfi Coast: 50 minutes drive from Amalfi on the SS163 + SP430 or 1h20m by the SITA bus via Salerno). The specific Paestum importance: the 3 Greek Doric temples (the Tempio di Nettuno (450 BCE, the best-preserved single Greek Doric temple in the world outside the Hephaestion in Athens (the specific 36-column Doric peristyle whose specific honey-gold travertine stone has the most specifically warm single Greek temple color of any Italian Magna Graecia site)), the Basilica (550 BCE, the oldest surviving Greek temple on the Italian mainland), and the Tempio di Cerere (500 BCE)): admission €18. The specific Museo Nazionale di Paestum (the GPS: 40.4213°N, 15.0054°E, the most specifically important single southern Italian Greek archaeology collection (the specific Tomb of the Diver (the Tomba del Tuffatore, the 480 BCE Greek painted tomb (the only single fully painted Greek tomb anywhere in the world: all 5 painted slabs (the 4 walls + the lid) depicting the specific symposium scene and the specific diver plunging into the specific sea (the most specifically debated single image in ancient Mediterranean art, the diver representing the specific leap from life to death or the specific Olympic athletic metaphor or the specific Pythagorean concept of the soul's journey between worlds)))). Return to Naples for departure (1h train from Paestum to Naples Centrale on the Trenitalia Regionale).
Q&A: Amalfi Coast 7-Day Itinerary
What is the Amalfi Coast 7-day itinerary cost for 2 people?
The specific Amalfi Coast 7-day mid-range budget for 2 people (2026 verified): accommodation (Praiano or Sorrento 3-star hotel: €100-170 per night × 7 nights = 700-1,€190). SITA buses and ferries (total for 7 days of transport: approximately €80-120 for 2 people). Food (the Amalfi Coast mid-range restaurant: €40-55 per person per day × 7 days × 2 people = €560-770). Site admissions (Villa Jovis, Paestum, Amalfi Duomo, Ravello villas: approximately €60 per person = €120 total). Capri ferry (approximately €45 per person round-trip = €90): total for 7 days without flights approximately 1,550-2,€290 for 2 people. The specific Amalfi Coast 7-day honest assessment: it is the most specifically expensive single Italian coastal destination per day (approximately 40-60% more expensive than the comparable Puglia or Sardinia coastal program) but it is simultaneously the most specifically internationally famous and the most specifically scenically dramatic, the price is what the specific demand for this specific scenery costs.
