Why visit Positano?

Clinging to the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, Positano captivates with its vertical cascade of peach, terracotta, and ivory stucco houses spilling down to the Tyrrhenian Sea. Begin a morning descent along the steps of Via Pasitea, stopping to browse hand-painted ceramics and bespoke linen boutiques. Pay a visit to the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta to admire its glittering green-and-gold majolica tiled dome and the Byzantine icon of the Black Madonna. For an unforgettable panorama, hike the Path of the Gods trail starting high above in Nocelle, where limestone cliffs meet endless maritime blue.

Afternoons belong on the volcanic grey sands of Spiaggia Grande, the town's vibrant beachfront hub, or tucked away at the more secluded Fornillo Beach. Gastronomy here celebrates the coastal landscape. Secure a table at Chez Black to feast on spaghetti alle vongole and their signature sea urchin pasta, or climb up to La Sponda inside Le Sirenuse hotel, where hundreds of lit candles illuminate plates of locally caught red mullet and linguine with Amalfi lemon. Complete the day with a glass of chilled limoncello at Franco's Bar, watching the sunset paint the rugged Lattari Mountains in deep shades of violet.
