Marina Grande to Anacapri, Capri

This breathtaking cliff road is best experienced in one of the island’s classic open-top taxis.
Minori & Maiori

These two towns are home to the Amalfi Coast’s longest and flattest beaches, now developed into rather low-key tourist resorts.
Naples to Caserta

Getting up to this northern palace will test your driving skills to the max but the end result is rewarding.
Naples to Paestum

Take the A3 or the N18 to Salerno, then switch to the N19, direction Battipaglia. Take the right fork for Paestum, the N18 south.
Naples to Sorrento

Driving on the tollway can be very stressful, but once you cut off to Castellammare di Stabia, there’s only one picturesque road.
Negombo, Ischia

Beautiful gardens and volcanic springs.
Parco Termale Aphrodite Apollon, Ischia

Pools, saunas and massage.
Posillipo & Beyond

The nearest beaches to the centre of Naples that are of any appeal can be found at Posillipo, although they’re shingle, not sand, and the water is far from immaculate. Further away, at the ends of the Cumana and Circumflegrea railways, there are more attractive sandy beaches, although, again, they are not especially pristine.
Positano

Again, at this fashionable, busy resort, payment is necessary for a sunbed and umbrella. For something a little more independent take the path to the west, around the cliff, to the beach at Fornillo – it’s smaller and rockier but more relaxed.
Positano to Vietri

A single road “of 1,000 turns” winds along this spectacular coast.
