Why go

Fifty kilometres of corniche stitched into cliffs between Sorrento and Salerno, with lemon terraces above and fishing villages in pastel stacks below. The driving is slow, occasionally hair-raising and never boring; Positano and Ravello supply the espresso stops. Go shoulder-season — May or late September — when the road breathes. Alternatively, be chauffeured and just gawp.
