You step out of Agerola’s stone square and the trail immediately climbs, the sea dropping away to the left like a painted sheet of blue. Holm oaks and low maquis lean into the wind; the old mule track underfoot alternates loose scree and compact limestone, and every bend opens a new postcard view of Positano clinging to the cliffs below.
