More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices between sheer limestone cliffs as you push off from Vietri sul Mare and the coast immediately rearranges itself — terraces, fishing villages, and cliffs that drop clean into a Mediterranean blue. The sea nudges the kayak forward; small caves and beaches that are unreachable by road appear like private invitations.
