Learn more about Positano

Clinging to a dramatic cliffside, this pastel-painted village tumbles down to a pebble beach where azure waters lap against colourful fishing boats. Narrow lanes twist between boutiques selling handmade sandals and linen clothing that capture the essence of coastal Italian style. Sip limoncello at a café overlooking Spiaggia Grande, where umbrellas create a kaleidoscope against the sea. The Church of Santa Maria Assunta's majolica-tiled dome dominates the skyline, housing a Byzantine Black Madonna. For a quieter experience, follow the path to Fornillo Beach. Take the ferry to explore the Amalfi Coast without navigating hairpin turns. Visit in spring or autumn when the Mediterranean warmth remains but summer crowds have dispersed.
