As you circumnavigate the Monti Lattari promontory and descend along the coast, the incredible view of Positano opens up, a cluster of colourful buildings arranged vertically on the rock face: just look at them from afar to imagine the many stairways to climb to the top. But if you don't feel like it, you can simply relax in the cove of Fornillo or in that of Arienzo, also known as 'dei 300 gradini'. To enjoy sailing a little more, you can sail away to the Li Galli islands: off the coast of Positano, these three private islets are known as 'Sirenuse' because they were home to the famous sirens of the Ulysses myth. Although impossible to visit from land, the waters surrounding them are part of the Protected Marine Area of Punta Campanella and are rich in marine fauna and flora to be observed in snorkelling or diving. 

Back on the boat, heading towards Amalfi, an obligatory stop is the Fiordo di Furore. The town of the same name, with less than 800 inhabitants, is one of the certified most beautiful villages in Italy and is split in two: on one side the houses perched on the cliff, on the other the natural fjord. You will find a small beach nestled between two rock walls and framed at the top by the narrow arched stone bridge that joins them. As well as creating spectacular scenery, it is also a stage of the World High Diving Championships: the bridge is suspended 30 metres above the ground!

The Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto) is also not to be missed: accessible from the sea and visitable only by special boats, it is surprising for its rocky walls modelled over time by the force of water and winds and rich in stalagmites and stalactites, as well as for the distinctive colour of the water.

A flourishing maritime republic during the Middle Ages, Amalfi today retains its ancient charm thanks to the monuments and narrow alleys all uphill that characterise it. The small harbour is right at the foot of the town centre and will allow you to reach the famous Duomo di Sant'Andrea in a few minutes' walk. After your visit (don't miss the Chiostro del Paradiso too!), you will find a square teeming with little shops and places to stop, or perhaps you will decide to continue the promenade in search of the best pastry shop to enjoy a lemon delight. 

Almost attached to Amalfi is Atrani, the smallest municipality in Italy, set vertically among the rocks and with an outlet to the sea via the beach of the same name. With its colourful buildings and elegant stone portico behind the bathers, it seems to have come out of another era and is definitely worth a stop at the roadstead. Even the sea-green water at this spot is no less impressive!

With a little more time, it is possible to reach nearby Ravello, famous for its Festival, but also for its villas and breathtaking views. Although it has no direct outlet to the sea, its elevated position allows privileged views of the entire coastline. Here is Villa Cimbrone, whose gardens, open to the public, after pergolas of white and blue wisteria lead up to the Terrace of Infinity: a view of the Gulf of Salerno that leaves everyone speechless.

Still sailing towards Salerno, in Cetara it is possible to stop at anchor in front of its Tower, or in one of its tiny coves, such as the one in front of the Spiaggia della Campana and the Spiaggia dei Limoni, accessible only by sea. For gourmets, an aperitif based on colatura di alici DOP (anchovy sauce) should of course be envisaged.

Finally, Vietri sul Mare is the town of ceramics on the Coast. Its alleys hide colourful buildings and small shops where you can stop, even if only for a nice photo! You can decide whether to go ashore or stop at the roadstead, perhaps taking a swim near I Due Fratelli, the rocks that emerge from the sea just off the coast.
