You step out of Sorrento’s shade onto a road that clings to the cliff — the bus hums and the sea opens below, blue and green, the Gulf a ribbon of light. The drive along the Amalfi Coast is a series of reveal: terraced lemon groves, Saracen watchtowers and villages stacked like postcards on steep rock faces.
