More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step onto teak at the small Positano port and the sea takes the first word — a steady, salt-laced push that moves the boat away from pastel houses perched on steep cliffs. The skipper in a blue t-shirt checks lines, and within minutes the town becomes a vertical postcard as the coastline unrolls: hidden coves, vertical lemon terraces, and vertical limestone ribs dropping into clear Mediterranean water.
