Positano is one of the most iconic and picturesque towns on the Amalfi Coast, known for its steep, narrow streets, colorful buildings, and stunning coastal views. Here’s what makes Positano special. The Amalfi coast is a must see in Italy. You can spend a day or two, but we spent 4 and that was perfect.
Spiaggia Grande: This is the main beach in Positano, where you’ll find vibrant umbrellas, sunbeds, and a lively atmosphere. The beach offers beautiful views of the town rising up the cliffs behind it. It’s a great place to relax, swim, and take in the scenery.
Fornillo Beach: A smaller, quieter beach accessible by a scenic walk from Spiaggia Grande. Fornillo offers a more relaxed vibe and is less crowded than the main beach.
Le Sirenuse: A luxury hotel known for its panoramic views and elegant design. Even if you’re not staying there, you can visit the bar or restaurant for a drink or meal with breathtaking views of the coast.
Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei): For hiking enthusiasts, this trail offers one of the most stunning hikes in the world, with views over the Amalfi Coast. The trail connects the towns of Bomerano and Nocelle (a hamlet above Positano) and is well worth the effort for its panoramic views.
Boat Tours: Positano is a great starting point for boat tours along the Amalfi Coast or to the island of Capri. You can explore nearby coves, grottos, and beaches that are only accessible by boat.
