Take a refreshing dip or simply unwind on the shores of secluded beaches, accessible only by sea. As we set off towards Positano, we'll pass by the stunning beaches and ancient watchtowers that dot the coastline. We'll dive into crystal-clear waters, explore hidden grottos, and snorkel in the turquoise sea. Our journey will take us to the enchanting Saint Andrew's Grotto, a massive natural sea cave adorned with stalactites, named after Amalfi's patron saint. We'll also visit the "Arc of Lovers," a natural rock arch formed by the sea's relentless power, said to resemble two elephants embracing. This romantic spot was once a popular wedding venue for young couples. As we cruise along, we'll pass by the quaint fishing village of Conca dei Marini, where you can catch a glimpse of Sophia Loren's villa and the historic Hotel "Il Saraceno" on La Vite Beach. We'll also admire the stunning Santa Rosa Monastery, now a luxurious hotel, where the delicious "Sfogliatella Santa Rosa" pastry was born. Be sure to savor this local delicacy before departing! As we enter the western basin of Conca dei Marini, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Furore and Praiano villages, the islands of Li Galli and Capri, and the famous Faraglioni Rocks. We'll anchor at the picturesque Runghetiello Grotto, where you can enjoy a refreshing swim or snorkeling session. Next, we'll explore the breathtaking Furore Fjord, Italy's only natural fjord and host of the international diving competition "MarMeeting." We'll then navigate towards the charming village of Praiano, where you'll discover the Africana Grotto, boasting a mesmerizing blue hue due to the unique refraction of light. Finally, we'll round Capo Sottile and make our way to Positano, where you can enjoy another snorkeling break at La Porta, a secluded beach accessible only by sea. Our return journey to Amalfi will offer a new perspective on the stunning coastline and its hidden gems.
