Local tip
Drive the coast before 8 AM or after 5 PM.
The SS163 is a single lane in many sections. Mid-day traffic turns a 40-minute drive into a 3-hour crawl. Early morning is magical — empty road, soft light, no buses.

Traveler story
We missed our ferry to Capri because we couldn't leave the lemon grove in Ravello. Best mistake of the trip.
