The road tightens against the cliff and the sea opens like a moving horizon—sunlight skimming tile roofs as you descend toward Positano. A private Mercedes minivan carries you along hairpin turns framed by terraced lemon groves; later the ferry slips you past pastel houses clinging to limestone cliffs, the wake slicing a bright line in the Tyrrhenian.
