More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You board a comfortable minivan in the bustle of Naples and the road immediately begins to change character: tight hairpins, cliffs dropping into cobalt water, and terraces of lemon trees clinging to the slope. The air smells faintly of citrus and sea. In Sorrento the guide lets you out to stretch along a promenade with views toward Vesuvius and Capri, before the road arcs toward Positano, where stacked pastel houses seem to tumble toward a narrow pebble beach.
