More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off a coach where limestone cliffs meet a restless Mediterranean; the sea dares you to slow down as the road unfurls curve after curve. In Positano, stairways thread between pastel houses and bougainvillea, each bend revealing the village slipping toward the water. In Sorrento the citrus air and craft workshops crowd a sunny piazza. Later, Pompeii opens like a fossilized city—ruined streets and plaster casts of lives paused by Vesuvius.
