More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices across the Tyrrhenian as the Scanner 870 eases away from Salerno’s Molo Manfredi. The engine’s low thrum becomes a steady companion while limestone cliffs loom, gulls wheel, and the captain points out cliffside villages that look like they grew out of the rock. The dinghy’s t-top gives shade; the sea invites you to stop and swim where the water is clearest.

The Amalfi Coast was shaped by the maritime Republic of Amalfi (9th–11th centuries), whose trading wealth left churches, watchtowers and coastal paths.
Conservation
