From Sorrento, transfer to a local bus or ferry for the final stretch to Positano, winding along cliffside roads that unveil cascading villas and lemon groves. Disembark into sun-dappled streets lined with boutique shops and cliffside cafés, where a sip of limoncello becomes the perfect reward after your unforgettable journey.
