Morning light hits the Bay of Naples as a Mercedes van pulls away from the city's marina, the driver navigating toward a coastline that changes character every few minutes. In one sweep the road climbs, revealing houses stacked like cards over steep cliffs; in the next, citrus groves and fishing boats signal a gentler town. This private eight-hour loop moves at a pace that lets passengers watch coastal life shift from postcard Positano to the pastel façades of Sorrento and finally the archaeological silence of Pompeii.
