Positano

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

Of the five 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, day tripping is worthwhile.

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. 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.
