| Positano is situated in the Campania region of Italy, on the Amalfi Coast. Once a wealthy maritime power, it began the last century as a fishing settlement, and ended it as a popular, and rather chi-chi resort, famous for its hotels and boutiques as well as for the winding stairways that connect the town, and the towering cliffs above.
Every inch of land is prized; buildings are stacked up one above the other on the steep slopes, and open areas are intensively cultivated with fruit and vegetables thriving in the fertile volcanic soil.
Positano Attractions: There are two main beaches in Positano, the Spiaggia del Fornillo and the Spiaggia Grande, each of which has something quite different to offer visitors in the way of beachfront attractions. The Spiaggia del Fornillo is the smaller of these two beaches and tends to be more secluded. Today the scene is equally alluring. Positano can rightfully be called one of the most picturesque towns on the Campania coast. From afar it appears to be enclosed by the beautiful beach of Marina Grande and crowned by the green slopes of Mounts Comune and Sant’Angelo a Tre Pizzi. Tidily lined up on the terraces sloping down towards the blue sea, are the typical Moorish style white and pink houses. People who visit Positano often spend less time on the actual beaches hiring chairs and umbrellas, but more time exploring the coastal region and all of its many appealing attractions. Many hiking trails are available along the Amalfi Coast and although they are often a little challenging, the views are more than worth the effort. Keen walkers should consider setting side an entire day to walk along the 'Path of the Gods' (Sentiero degli Dei), a steep trail which connects Positano with the neighbouring towns of Praiano and Conca dei Marini, where the Grotta dello Smeraldo (Green Grotto / Emerald Grotto) is a must-see. |
