Amalfi Coast
Best season
May – October
Few coastlines reward a slow approach like the Amalfi. Arrive from Capri at golden hour, drop anchor below Positano and let the tenders do the rest — a table at Da Adolfo, a swim at Furore, a late espresso in Ravello's cloisters.
Not to be missed
Capri at first light
Circle the Faraglioni before the day boats arrive, then breakfast in the Blue Grotto's quiet cove.
Positano by tender
Step ashore at the Spiaggia Grande for linen shopping and a terrace aperitivo above the bay.
Li Galli islands
The private archipelago once owned by Nureyev — anchor off for the clearest water on the coast.
Ravello gardens
Villa Cimbrone's Terrace of Infinity, followed by a concert at the Ravello Festival.
Lemon groves of Amalfi
A private tasting of limoncello with a fourth-generation grower above the town.
Ischia's thermal springs
Finish the week in the volcanic hot springs of Sorgeto bay, reachable only by sea.
