Planned Route Notes
Leaving Positano marks the definitive departure from the Amalfi Coast and the transition into the deep south. The road moves inland briefly, then returns to the Tyrrhenian shoreline, where the terrain becomes harsher, quieter, and more exposed. Traffic thins. Infrastructure fades. The ride becomes less curated and more elemental. Crossing into Calabria carries a different atmosphere. This is no longer a destination region. It is a transit frontier. Long, fast coastal sections alternate with technical inland segments shaped by mountains that fall directly into the sea. Arrival in Tropea brings the first direct visual contact with Sicily across the Strait of Messina. The island is now visible. The southern objective is no longer abstract.
