Amalfi Coast, Italy

Postcard-perfect views.Positano is everything you've ever dreamed the Amalfi Coast would be.

Video about Positano

Of all the towns that constitute the Amalfi Coast, Positano is almost certainly the most photographed, a cascade of color rolling down steep hillsides towards the sea. The Amalfi Coast road snakes through the town, providing the main means of connectivity to the outside world. The only other option is by boat, and as there are regular ferries to the other Amalfi Coast towns and to Capri island in the Bay of Naples.

Positano's coarse-grain sand public beaches can fill up fast on sunny days, but there are quieter stretches to be found, and a water taxi ride will take you to somewhere more secluded bays. Positano is at one end of the "Path of the Gods," a demanding hiking trail that will take you inland to the town of Agerola, but the journey is its own reward, with some extraordinary views along the way.

Very responsive and helpful stuff. The drivers were fantastic. Jayway is only way to travel to Europe- our trip was stress free thanks to the pre-planning and the onsite contact. Exceptional communication and customer service.

Everything was perfect. Chianti wine tours were incredible. We would choose Jayway again in an instant! Highly recommend. Jayway travel has helped us with two amazing vacations and could not say anything negative about our experiences. Would book again for sure! Until next time.
