Naples
Naples sits on a 15-kilometre semicircular bay, with Mount Vesuvius rising 1,281 metres directly behind the city and the islands of Capri, Ischia, and Procida arrayed across the gulf. The harbour holds three working ports — Molo Beverello for ferries, Mergellina for charter yachts, and the new megayacht basin at the Stazione Marittima. The seafront Castel dell'Ovo, built on a small islet, is the visual centre of the bay. Behind the waterfront, the dense medieval Spaccanapoli quarter holds the cathedral, Sansevero Chapel, and the pizza tradition the city invented in the 1700s. Naples is 90 minutes from Capri and 3 hours from Positano. Season runs April through October.
Procida
Procida is the smallest of the three Phlegrean islands in the Bay of Naples — and the most photographed for its pastel-stacked fishing harbour. Marina Corricella is a wall of yellow, pink, and ochre houses tumbling down to a working boat harbour, with no road access and only a stepped path connecting it to the upper village. The island has stayed authentic: Italian families come here for the food (Procida lemon ricotta cake, fresh sea urchin) rather than the scene. Procida was Italy's 2022 Capital of Culture. The island is 30 minutes from Ischia and an hour from Naples. Season runs April through October.
Ischia
Ischia is the largest of the Bay of Naples islands and the volcanic heart of the chain — the entire 46-square-kilometre island sits on top of Mount Epomeo, a dormant volcano whose thermal springs emerge in dozens of public and private spa parks. The eastern coast at Ischia Porto holds the Aragonese Castle, a 5th-century-BC fortress connected to the main island by a 220-metre stone causeway. The southern village of Sant'Angelo sits car-free on a peninsula, with mineral-rich beaches and pastel houses. Ischia is 90 minutes from Capri and 30 from Procida. Season runs April through October.
Capri
Capri rises from the Tyrrhenian Sea as a single limestone block — 6 square kilometres of sheer cliff broken only by two small ports at Marina Grande and Marina Piccola. The island's signature features are the three Faraglioni rock spires off the southeast coast and the Blue Grotto on the northwest, where boats row in through a 1-metre cave opening to a chamber where sunlight refracts the water electric blue. Above the cliffs, Capri Town and Anacapri hold designer boutiques, lemon granita stands, and the Villa Jovis ruins where Emperor Tiberius retired in 27 AD. Capri is 90 minutes from Sorrento. Season runs April through October.
Li Galli Isles
Li Galli is a tiny archipelago of three privately owned islets off the Amalfi Coast, between Positano and Capri — known in Homer's Odyssey as the home of the Sirens, the creatures whose song lured sailors to their deaths. The main islet, Gallo Lungo, was bought by ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev in 1989 and remains a private estate now owned by his foundation. Boats cannot land on the islets but anchor offshore in 8-15 metres of deep blue water with clear visibility to the rocky bottom. The geological shape — three rocks arranged like a flying dolphin — gives the islets their other name, "the dolphins." Li Galli is 30 minutes from Positano. Season runs April through October.
Positano
Positano is the most photographed village on the Amalfi Coast — a vertical cascade of pastel houses cut into a near-vertical cliff face, accessible by only one road that ends 100 metres above the harbour. The village is built around Spiaggia Grande, a black-sand beach lined with restaurants and the unmistakable majolica-domed church of Santa Maria Assunta. Boats anchor offshore and dinghy in; mooring is impossible at the working harbour. The Path of the Gods footpath climbs from Positano to neighbouring Praiano along the cliff edge. Positano is 30 minutes from Amalfi Town and 60 from Capri. Season runs April through October.
Praiano
Praiano sits between Positano and Amalfi on the cliff-edge road, with the same architecture and views but a fraction of the visitors. The village splits in two: the upper Vettica Maggiore around the church square, and the lower Praiano on the cliffside above the small Marina di Praia beach. Just east, the Furore Fjord is the most photographed coastal feature on the Amalfi — a narrow 35-metre cleft in the cliff with a tiny beach at its head, spanned 30 metres above by a stone bridge that hosts an annual high-dive competition. Praiano is 15 minutes from Positano by sail. Season runs April through October.
Conca Dei Marini
Conca dei Marini is a small clifftop village on the south-facing Amalfi Coast of the Sorrento Peninsula, 5 kilometres west of Amalfi town and 10 kilometres east of Positano — a working fishing village of about 700 year-round residents that holds one of the iconic Amalfi coastal landmarks, the Grotta dello Smeraldo (Emerald Grotto). The grotto is a sea cave 30 metres long and 24 metres high, accessed through a low entrance at the cliff base; sunlight passing through an underwater opening on the seaward side fills the interior with a strong emerald-green underwater glow visible from inside. The cave was discovered in 1932 by a local fisherman, and underwater stalactites that formed when sea level was 4 metres lower 6,000 years ago are still visible 4 metres below the surface. The village above holds the medieval Marina di Conca small-boat harbour with a 100-metre crescent beach and 4 cliff-side restaurants. Conca is 15 minutes from Amalfi by sail. Season runs April through October.
Amalfi
Amalfi is the quieter heart of the coast that carries its name. The Duomo rises above a small piazza where locals still drink espresso in the morning, and the backstreets open into lemon gardens and old paper mills running since the Middle Ages. From the water the town looks like a painting — colourful facades stacked into the hillside, framed by cliffs and lemon terraces. Slip into the Grotta dello Smeraldo nearby, where sunlight turns an underground cave emerald green, or find a quiet inlet along the cliffs for a swim with no one else around — and a short sail puts Positano, Ravello, and Capri within an easy day. The food is the reason to stay late — anchovy pasta at a harbour table, sfogliatella warm from the bakery, limoncello made from the cliff-side groves above. Season April through October; June and September dodge August crowds.
Sorrento
Sorrento sits on top of a 50-metre tuff cliff at the southern tip of the Bay of Naples, looking across to Vesuvius and Capri. The town's working harbour, Marina Grande, is reached from above by a staircase or a winding road; boats anchor in the bay or moor at the small marina. The 16th-century cliff-top town centre — Piazza Tasso — holds the orange and lemon groves that supply most of Italy's limoncello. Sorrento is the natural launching point for sails to Capri (60 minutes) and the Amalfi Coast (30 minutes to Positano). Season runs April through October.
