Does it get very busy during high season. I doubt there's much opportunity to enjoy a good thrash round any of the corners?

Mixit,

I have done it three times, but it is narrow with sheer drop to the sea !!! Did it in a hire car but would love to do it in me Sti

Some Great little coves and villages (positano) Ravello and Amalfi itself. Sorrento is nice, but be warned if you take your car there as the parking is so rare they have these dodgy looking geezers that you leave your keys with in case they have to move your motor. Yeah right !! I dont think so.

Also seen the italians drive and park, lots of scratches on thepaintwork of passing scooters !

Enjoy
