A morning fog lifts off the Bay of Naples as your private driver threads the Amalfi Drive — a cliff-hugging ribbon of asphalt where terraces of lemon groves and pastel houses lean toward the sea. You pause at a hairpin to breath in salt and citrus; Positano’s stacked facades tumble down to a pebbled beach, Amalfi’s cathedral bells slice the noon air, and Ravello perches above with a view that spreads like an open map.
