The Amalfi shoreline slides past like a storybook written in rock and sea: sheer limestone cliffs leaning toward the Tyrrhenian, little villages clinging to terraces, and sunlight cutting glassy lanes where the gozzos run. Departing from Amalfi’s Molo darsena, a traditional Gozzo Sorrentino carries up to six passengers along coves and caves — past the Natural Arch, Sofia Loren’s villa, and the narrow throat of Fiordo di Furore.
