Positano is the Amalfi Coast’s front-cover town, splashed across advertisements, postcards, and iconic films. Nestled on the steep cliff face of the coast, the city is home to vertiginous houses, sapphire waters, and plenty of charm.
Its beauty
Anyone that’s visited the Amalfi Coast will tell you Positano is the most beautiful. Featuring aquamarine waters, smooth pebble stone beachfront, and colourful houses in all colours. Due to its steeping uphill building stacks, any building to plop yourself at will have front-row views of the surrounding ocean. Being the perfect place to enjoy the sunset at while you sip on a glass of wine and dig into the hearty pasta or pizza on offer.
It’s great for Shopping
Held in the village centre is Positano’s legendary shopping section. Filled to the brim with stylish clothing boutiques, handmade ceramic shops, fun souvenir shops, and charming art galleries. Visitors can spend their whole morning in this section hopping from one shop to the next! Grab yourself a genuine Positano dish or antique or grab all the gifts you need to buy for your family and friends back home!
The Historic Buildings
Positano is great for a walking tour around the town’s historic buildings littered about. Simply lace up your walking shoes and set out to the churches, buildings, and public landmarks dotted around the cobblestone streets. Buildings such as the Church of Santa Maria, otherwise known as Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta. A picturesque catholic church that has a long and fascinating history!
The Beach
Positano’s smooth stone beach is listed as one of the best beach spots in the entire Amalfi Coast. Grab one of the beach lounges set up and spend the day sunbaking and swimming, hopping in and out the refreshing waters for hours on end.
