More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto the polished teak at Mergellina as gulls wheel above and Mount Vesuvius watches the bay. The captain tightens lines, the engine hums, and Naples slips astern—Vesuvius to starboard, the Sorrento Peninsula unspooling ahead. The boat opens into the Gulf of Salerno, cliffs of the Amalfi Coast rising like folded strata, and Positano’s pastel houses cascading toward a pebble shore.
