Leave on the Sorrento coastal road. Cross the S. Piero pass and enter the Amalfi coastal area, where you cycle along a stunning road with a sheer drop down to the sea. You then reach the lovely village of Positano with its many-coloured houses, perched like an amphitheatre overlooking the Mediterranean.
You continue along the road until reaching Amalfi: a powerful marine republic until the end of the 10th century. We recommend a visit to the Church and Cloisters, and it is well worth exploring the area off the main street with its little alleyways winding past the white fishermen’s cottages.
