There is a specific feeling that only a scooter can provide on the Amalfi Coast: the scent of wild thyme and lemon groves, the cool air of the mountain tunnels, and the unobstructed view of the turquoise sea at every turn. In 2026, with car traffic reaching record levels, a scooter isn’t just a way to get around—it is the only way to see the Coast properly.

At RentinCosta, we believe that the journey is just as important as the destination. Based in Agerola, the “Gateway to the Coast,” we have designed the perfect 1-day itinerary to help you maximize your time and avoid the tourist traps.

Phase 1: The Start in Agerola (The Balcony of the World)

Your journey begins at our hub in Agerola. Starting here is a strategic masterstroke.

  • The Descent: The ride from Agerola down toward the coast is one of the most scenic descents in Italy. You’ll see the Gulf of Salerno opening up before you.

  • Pro Tip: Before leaving Agerola, stop at a local salumeria to grab some fresh fior di latte cheese and focaccia. It’s the perfect, authentic snack for your road trip.

Phase 2: Morning in Positano (The Vertical Dream)

From the bottom of the Agerola road, turn right toward Positano. Arriving in Positano by scooter is a revelation.

  • The Route: You will pass through Praiano and the Fiordo di Furore. Don’t stop yet—save these for the return trip when the light is better for photos.

  • Parking in Positano: While cars are backed up for miles, head straight down toward the center. Look for the designated scooter parking zones (blue lines) near the pedestrian area.

  • What to do: Grab a lemon granita, walk down to the Spiaggia Grande, and take the iconic “pyramid of houses” photo.

Phase 3: The Midday Stop at Fiordo di Furore

Head back east toward Amalfi. Your next stop is the Fiordo di Furore.

  • The Scooter Edge: This is where the scooter truly wins. Car parking is non-existent here. You can safely pull over in the small spaces reserved for two-wheelers right on the bridge.

  • The View: Walk down the stone steps to the tiny beach tucked between the cliffs. It is one of the coolest spots (literally, as it stays shaded) on the coast.

Phase 4: Lunch in Praiano or Conca dei Marini

By now, you’ll be hungry.

  • Praiano: Stop at a cliffside trattoria. Praiano is less crowded than Positano and offers a more relaxed lunch experience.

  • The Emerald Grotto: Just past Praiano, in Conca dei Marini, you can visit the Grotta dello Smeraldo. Again, the dedicated scooter parking makes this a 30-minute stop instead of a 2-hour parking ordeal.

Phase 5: Afternoon in Amalfi and Atrani

Continue east to the historic town of Amalfi.

  • The Vibe: Amalfi is the bustling heart of the coast. Park your Vespa near the port (Piazza Flavio Gioia).

  • The Must-See: Visit the Duomo di Sant’Andrea with its stunning Arab-Norman architecture.

  • Atrani: Don’t miss the 2-minute ride through the tunnel to Atrani, the smallest town in Italy. Its labyrinth of white alleys is a photographer’s paradise.

Phase 6: Late Afternoon Climb to Ravello

As the sun begins to lower, it’s time to head up the mountain to Ravello.

  • The Ride: The road from Amalfi to Ravello is a series of beautiful “S” curves through lemon terraces. On a 125cc scooter, this climb is effortless and exhilarating.

  • The Infinity Terrace: Head to Villa Cimbrone. The “Terrazza dell’Infinito” is at its best in the late afternoon. The golden hour light makes the coastline look like a painting.

Phase 7: The Return to Agerola via the Mountain Road

Instead of going back down to the coast, take the inland route back to Agerola.

  • The Change of Scenery: You’ll pass through chestnut forests and mountain villages. The air is crisp, and the traffic is non-existent.

  • The Farewell: Return your scooter to RentinCosta and enjoy a well-deserved dinner in one of Agerola’s famous pizzerias. You’ve seen more of the coast in 8 hours than most car travelers see in 3 days.

Essential Scooter Itinerary Tips for 2026

To ensure your day is perfect, keep these technical points in mind:

  1. Fuel Strategy: There are gas stations in Positano and Amalfi. Always keep at least half a tank—the mountain climbs consume more fuel than the flat coastal stretches.

  2. Safety First: The Amalfi Coast road is narrow. Always stay to the right. If a SITA bus is coming from the opposite direction, give them plenty of space.

  3. ZTL Zones: Be careful in Amalfi and Positano. Cameras monitor the pedestrian centers. Our team will provide a map of exactly where you can and cannot go.

  4. Clothing: Even in summer, the wind on the scooter can be cool, especially during the morning descent from Agerola or the late-evening return. Bring a light windbreaker.
