Positano is the most famous and iconic village on the Amalfi Coast, the spectacular strip of coastline with the turquoise waters of the Mediterranean Sea to one side and the peaks of the Lattari Mountains to the other. The coastline stretches for 37 miles (60 kilometres) south of Naples (Napoli) and north of Salerno in the southern Italian region of Campania. The entire Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with highlights including Positano as well as the equally picturesque towns of Amalfi and Ravello.
Take a dip in the crystalline waters off the coast, admire the dramatic cliffs by sea on a mini-cruise, relax over a romantic dinner overlooking the water, and stroll along the narrow, twisting lanes under a lush canopy of wisteria and lemon trees. These are the unique charms that make Positano one of the top destinations in all of Italy for those who want to sample the country’s timeless "la dolce vita" atmosphere.
Where is Positano?
Positano is the first town you reach on the Amalfi Coast when arriving from Naples, and it's about a 20-minute drive from the Sorrentine Peninsula and about 30 minutes from Capri by ferry. After Positano, the next towns are Praiano, Conca de' Marini, Amalfi, and the other villages along the coast.
You can reach Positano by bus from Sorrento or Amalfi (there are two stops: "La Sponda" and "Chiesa Nuova"). There are also ferries in the summer from Sorrento and Capri.
Positano, a village built from the bottom to the top of an Italian hill on Monte Comune, in the province of Salerno, by the sea. It is absolutely breathtaking to see these houses one above the other because at first glance we only see these houses and no more vegetation, when in fact there are citrus gardens and palm trees.
During your walk in the village, your steps may take you down a sloping lane and at the end you see the sea, and just like many visitors, you will have the impression that the lane falls into the Wed, it’s really surprising! Visiting the village requires courage for some and in addition to wearing good shoes, because it is made up of numerous stairs or steps that cross the streets.
We can sometimes feel oppressed as the houses are so close to each other and so high. Despite these faults for some, Positano has a charm of its own and proof of this is because the village, in summer, is crowded with tourists and artists have made it their place of creation.
Positano, thanks to its port, was a flourishing village in the 16th and 17th centuries, then the inhabitants deserted this region to go to the United States to experience a better life. The village lived only from its fishing then tourists arrived in the middle of the 20th century and since then it has drawn its main wealth from tourism because its coast is one of the most beautiful on the Amalfi Coast. Faced with the influx of rich tourists, luxury boutiques are set up on the street and the village is experiencing a surge in prices which does not make the inhabitants happy.
On the village square “Piazzetta des Moulins” you will find the church which is mentioned in the legend of the Madonna.
