Planned Route Notes
Positano marks the transition between the long southbound descent and the final crossing to Sicily. Built vertically into the cliffs, the town unfolds downward toward the sea in layers of stone, color, and narrow passages shaped long before modern roads existed. The Amalfi Coast itself is not defined by distance, but by intensity. The road is narrow, technical, and constantly exposed—cut into rock above open water. Every kilometer demands presence. There is no autopilot here. This rest day allows separation from the rhythm of transit. Time to walk instead of ride. To experience the coastline at human speed. Fishing boats moving at dawn. Church bells marking the day. The scent of lemon groves carried inland from the terraces above the sea. Positano is both a destination and a threshold. Beyond it lies the crossing to Sicily and the southernmost point of the expedition.
