Outdoors
The Furore fjord — Italy's smallest beach
A 25-metre beach at the bottom of a deep, narrow gorge, accessed by 200 steps from the SS163 bridge.
The visit
Bus 5070 or 5050 from Amalfi stops at the bridge. The marked stairs descend 70 metres to the beach. There's no bar, no umbrellas, no rentals — just rocks, a fishing boat or two, and the sound of water.
Go at 10:00 to have the place to yourself; by 14:00 the boats arrive and the cove is busy. Pack lunch, leave nothing behind.
Where to stay

PracticalNaples airport to the Amalfi Coast — the four real options
There's no single right answer. The right transfer depends on your luggage, your group size, when you arrive, and where on the coast you're staying.

You eat your way through Naples or you don't really visit it. Five stops, three hours, two pockets full of paper cones.
