You step out of the port and the sea air is sharp with lemon and salt — the driver's van waits, and within an hour the city hum fades as the road begins to thread the cliffs. The Amalfi Drive unfurls: hairpin turns that open like windows to vertical gardens, pastel houses clinging to limestone ledges, and a coastline that seems to pull you toward the Mediterranean.
