You arrive before the crowds, the highway cutting a ribbon along cliffs that drop into the Tyrrhenian like pages torn from a map. Windows down, you smell lemon trees and salt; the sea keeps pulling the view outward while the road pulls you around a new headland. Positano’s houses tumble toward a cove; Amalfi’s cathedral silhouette punctuates a compact piazza; Ravello perches above it all with villas that pry open the horizon.
