Icons

- Ravello — Why Ravello photographs well, and why it closes in the afternoon.
- Capri — Why Capri photographs well, and why it closes in the afternoon.

Pairings
- Slow pair — Pair Positano with Amalfi; drop a third stop before you add one.
- Weather pair — Do not force a wet coast and a dry highland into the same week.
- Honeymoon pair — Two city nights plus three quiet nights recover better than a trophy circuit.
Dropping the third city is usually a gain.
