Detailed Itinerary by days
Day 1Salerno - Cetara
Start in Salerno, where lemon gardens cling to sun-drenched slopes. Sail south to Cetara, a village where the tang of colatura di alici (anchovy essence) hums with salt. Drop anchor in the little harbor, where fisherman repair nets beneath fading umbrellas. Taste pasta dripping with the town's liquid gold by walking cobblestone lanes; then, climb the less-known relative of the Path of the Gods for views of Vesuvius smearing the horizon. Drink limoncello on a terrace covered in fairy lights as evening falls, the sea sighing against old stone.
Day 2Cetara - Agropoli
Glide past Capo d'Orso; its rocky form sculpted by myth and sea. Dock in Agropoli, where a Byzantine castle towers above blue sea. After snorkel the Trentova Bay, whose seabed is a patchwork of seagrass and darting bream, then ascend the ramparts of the castle—ghosts of Saracen raids linger in the saline breeze. Eat at Lo Scoglio, where the moon rises while the servers sing canzoni napoletane while mozzarella di bufala melts over grilled eggplant.
Day 3Agropoli - Acciaroli
Sail to Acciaroli, Hemingway's haunt where elderly men perform scopa on the docks. After kayaking to Pioppi, a village where the Mediterranean diet originated, explore crystalline coves called for sirens. Feast on alici arraganate (anchovies cooked with oregano and breadcrumbs) at a trattoria where the wine runs from unmarked carafes. Let the lapping wave rhythm guide you to sleep; the harbor lights sparkle like ground-based stars.
Day 4Acciaroli - Marina di Casalvelino
Coast into the wild, where beaches remain unspoiled Cilento National Park. Anchor close to Ascea, a length of beach covered in pine woods. Trek to Velia, the Greek ruins, where Parmenides once considered life, then cool off with a dip into waters so pure they reflect the heavens. Join a contadino family for dinner—homemade fusilli with wild boar ragù—eatered beneath a vine-strung pergola at twilight.
Day 5Marina di Casalvelino - Palinuro
Go to Palinuro, where sapphire mysteries are guarded by sea caverns. Swim into the Blue Grotto, its walls glistening like lapis lazuli, then beachcomb at Arco Naturale, a stone arch chiseled millennia of wind. At Da Nonna, where the chef's grandmother still hand rolls pasta, have pezzogna all'acqua pazza (sea bream in "crazy water" soup).
Day 6Palinuro - Marina di Camerota
Glide south from Marina di Camerota, Infreschi Coast entrance. Kayak to Cala degli Infreschi, a bay reachable only by sea with juniper-lined green waters. Trekking the Sentiero degli Innamorati (Lovers' Path), where wild orchids blossom between limestone, then eat ricci (sea urchins) cracked open on the dock, their saline delicious taste matched with crisp Fiano wine.
Day 7Marina di Camerota - Salerno
Go down San Marco on your last sail; a 16th-century watchtower overlooks vacant beaches there. Returning to Salerno as the sun bronzes Castello di Arechi, dive one last time close to Capitello, your shadow dancing with octopuses on the sand. On the Lungomare, the romance of the Amalfi now carved in your salt-bleached soul, toast your journey with sfogliatella pastries.
