More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the gangway into a Mediterranean morning: the port air tastes faintly of salt and lemon, and a white van waits with your name on a sign. The road out of Naples climbs and peels away along cliffs that throw shards of sunlight across the sea; the coast dares you to look away.
