Positano


Travel and LeisureFodorsUSA TodayNew York TimesNational GeographicWashington PostVogue
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.
Postcard-perfect views.
Positano is everything you've ever dreamed the Amalfi Coast would be.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Positano

What are prices like in Positano?

Positano is one of the most expensive towns on the Amalfi Coast. Meals at restaurants can range from €30 to €60 per person, depending on the establishment and location. For attractions, prices generally range from €10 to €20. Public transportation, such as buses, typically costs around €2-€4 for a single ride. Overall, Positano offers a stunning experience but can be quite costly, especially during peak tourist season.

How can I get around Positano?

The best (and sometimes only) way to explore Positano is by foot. The town is built on steep hills, with narrow alleys and stairs that wind through the buildings, making it ideal for walking. Exploring on foot allows you to truly experience the charm of Positano, from its quaint shops to its beautiful views. Due to the terrain, there aren't many cars, and public transportation is limited, so walking is the most practical and enjoyable way to get around.

Is Positano safe?

Positano is generally safe for visitors. Like most tourist destinations, it’s important to take the usual precautions, especially in busy areas where pickpocketing can occur. The town has a low crime rate, and the local community is welcoming and friendly. It's a peaceful place, but it’s always a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings.

Does Positano have options for people with dietary restrictions?

Positano has increasingly more options for people with dietary restrictions and intolerances. Many restaurants offer gluten-free pizza and pasta, and you'll also find a variety of vegetarian options in most places. To ensure your needs are met, it’s a good idea to inform the staff when you arrive, and they will be happy to suggest suitable dishes or make adjustments to accommodate any allergies or restrictions you may have.

How long should I stay in Positano?

We recommend spending at least two nights in Positano to fully enjoy the town and take a boat trip to a nearby island like Capri. Consider adding a third night to allow time for a day trip to explore more of the Amalfi Coast.
