What to see and do
– Positano: The postcard town with cascading houses, boutique shops and a lively beach scene. Wander the steep lanes early to avoid peak crowds, then linger at a caf\u00e9 for people-watching and espresso.

– Hidden gems: Small fishing villages such as Cetara are prized for anchovies and authentic seafood, while the Fiordo di Furore\u2014a dramatic fjord-like inlet\u2014offers striking photo opportunities and dramatic cliffs.<\/p>\n
Active adventures
– Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods): This iconic trail links mountain villages above the coast with spectacular panoramas. The route is moderate, with uneven terrain and exposed sections; sturdy shoes, water, and sunscreen are essential.
– Sea exploration: Renting a small boat or joining a guided excursion opens access to sea caves, secluded beaches, and snorkeling spots that are unreachable from land. <\/p>\n
Private skippers can tailor routes to include sunrise or sunset cruises.
– Beaches: Sandy stretches are limited, so plan ahead. Popular beaches fill quickly; smaller coves and pebbly inlets reward those willing to walk or take a short boat ride.<\/p>\n

Practical travel tips

Ferries are especially pleasant on calm days.
– Timing: Early mornings and late afternoons are quieter. Shoulder-season travel provides milder weather and fewer crowds, while peak periods bring busy streets and fully booked hotels.
– Book ahead: Popular accommodations, boat tours, and guided hikes can fill up quickly. Reserve essentials in advance, especially if you prefer a particular hotel or a private boat charter.
– Respectful travel: Many towns have restricted-traffic zones and fragile historic areas\u2014observe local rules, avoid littering, and support small family-run businesses. <\/p>\n
Carry a little cash for markets and trattorie that may not accept cards.<\/p>\n
