On one side of the empty scenic highway stretches the azure waters of the Tyrrhenian. On the other, the peaks of the Lattari Mountains. Coming around a bend, the town of Positano climbs up the cliff.
You pull into a deserted overlook to photograph the vista in the late afternoon sun. Afterward, you head to Sorrento for dinner, parking on the main square, just feet from a famous restaurant. You are seated despite having no reservations.
