on the Amalfi Coast
is special

This picture-perfect town of colorful houses bejeweled with bougainvillea flowers cascades down a steep hillside to the sea.


Positano
tips & insights


How Positano
evolved

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.


What is Positano
like in the summer?

It teems with tourists patronizing the chic boutiques and cafes. The beaches, unfortunately, are gray-volcanic pebbly.

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).
