Positano travel wonder in Italy |
|
|
Why This picture-perfect town of colorful houses bejeweled with bougainvillea flowers cascades down a steep hillside to the sea.
Positano
It transformed itself from a sleepy fishing village into an artist's & writer's colony into a chic seaside Italian resort town in less than a century. In the summer, Positano teems with tourists patronizing the chic boutiques and cafes. The beaches, unfortunately, are gray-volcanic pebbly.
Wear comfortable shoes. Positano has a lot of steep steps winding through a maze of narrow passageways (though a bus circuit gives your feet a rest).
Drive up to the nearby hilltop town of Montepertuso for a bird's eyeview of the Amalfi Coast - and the sight of a mountain spur sporting a colossal see-through hole.
You can use Positano as a base for a daytrip to the Isle of Capri. The voyage by ferry or hydrofoil provides a splendid view of the Amalfi coastline. Click to read my Capri web page:
