Things to Do in Positano
Plan your days in Positano, your way
Positano gives you a little of everything, and all of it good.
Start with the famous view — the stacked pastel houses from the beach, because it's famous for a reason.
Then wander uphill through the lanes of Chiesa Nuova, getting mildly and pleasantly lost.
Lunch is grilled fish and a carafe of local white at a beachside trattoria, feet in the sand.
Afternoon: a short boat ride to a cove for a swim, or the easy walk along the coast path to Fornillo.
Browse the linen shops and ceramic studios on Via dei Mulini, no agenda.
Aperitivo at a terrace bar as the cliff lights flicker on one by one.
One town, perfectly sampled — and a promise to yourself to come back.
