More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from Salerno harbor as morning light rubs the limestone cliffs with a cool, salty glaze. The boat cuts a steady path westward; grottos and lemon-splashed terraces pass like pages. The skipper steers by sight and memory, skimming past the vertical facades of Praiano and the narrow mouth of Fiordo di Furore until Positano’s stacked houses appear like theater seats carved into the hill.
