More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the shaded piazza into a ribbon of coastal road where the Tyrrhenian Sea dares you to look away. The driver's Mercedes pulls close; a quiet engine and a practiced hand navigate hairpin after hairpin as cliff and blue trade places in your window. Positano appears first — houses tumbling like thrown pottery toward the beach — then the road opens to a series of small villages clinging to limestone ledges.
