No Experience Required

On the first morning you step out into a town that still measures its days by church bells and market hours: Cava de' Tirreni. The group threads through narrow streets, past bakeries sending out steam and the scent of espresso, then climbs into terraces where lemon trees lean toward the sea as if listening for waves. Over four days the coastline unspools beneath you—whitewashed villages, sheer limestone cliffs, the Tyrrhenian daring you with every glittering turn.
