Positano is a cliffside coastal resort on southern Italy's Amalfi Coast. A very popular pebble beachfront and steep, narrow streets lined with colourful boutiques and exclusive cafes. Its Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta features a majolica-tiled dome that you can see from every corner in town. The best way to explore the surroundings is climbing up and down the steep flights of steps, so you better leave your car at the designated parking areas.

Visit the ruins of the old and sumptuous Roman villas, walk up and down the streets and get mesmerised by the bright colours facades lining up the streets, get to know the history of town at the local Museo Archeologico Romano and use this location as a great base to explore the surrounding villages on the Amalfi Coast like Sorrento, Amalfi, Naples and then you will understand why an elite group of travellers including intellectuals, artists, and celebrities elected Positano as their preferred holiday destination.

When the SS163 road was finished, many towns along the Amalfi coast were connected and easy to access. That is when Amalfi began to flourish and became a chic destination where big stars like Elizabeth Taylor, Picasso, Klee or Steinbeck fell in love with the unique landscape of this beautiful town and they described themselves as “Willing prisoners of a legendary landscape”. Let the beauty of Positano captivate you as well and spend some glamorous time surrounded by natural beauty and a unique flair in the most chic coastal area in Italy.

There are many beautiful beaches along the Italian coast and the Amalfi Coast. In Positano you can enjoy a quiet and peaceful beach, where to bask in the sun without any rush. We talk about Fornillo Beach, a small stretch of sand that can be reached via the coastal path starting on the Spiaggia Grande. The latter is the heart of Positano. It is the largest beach in the area and the most popular one where celebrities, actors and a great bunch of artists go to. Do you prefer to swim away and far from everyone? Use the sea taxi service based in Marina Grande that will take you to paradisiacal bays and coves like Clavel, Cavone and Remmese, only reachable by boat.

Lots of legends and stories fly over the three islets known as the “Sirenuse”. These are the islands of Li Galli. It was widely believed that the islets were inhabited by mermaids trying to seduce sailors or anybody sailing nearby. Let the mysterious beauty of the islets enchant you like it once did with Rudolf Nureyev, the famous ballet dancer.

After a few days soaking up the sun, shopping in its colourful boutiques and having a delicious meal at Zagara, you can take the day off and visit the little mountain districts scattered around the mountains. Make your way to Montepertuso, rich in beautiful waterfalls and lots of rare species to enjoy a fabulous day in nature. The little hamlet of Nocelle can only be accessed via a pathway or climbing up the 1500 steps that start on the beach of Arienzo. Visit this enchanting place and fall in love with its unique atmosphere and the wonderful views from the main square. Make sure you stop at Fontana Vecchia where you can enjoy a pint of fresh water!
