Positano is situated in the Campania region of
Italy. It’s a port for Capri and health and seaside resort 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.
The structure of the town is very original; its buildings cling, in tiers to the rock face. The small houses, all huddling on top of each other, so characteristic of Positano, form the subject of endless photos. To Positano you find many hotels, small pensions, residence, bed & breakfast, to lodgings and optimal
restaurants and pizza where it will be able to be appreciated the local “gastronomia”.
Positano has several churches of interest, most notably the
Duomo by the beach, with its green and gold dome. The white-and-gold interior is airy and attractive and merits a visit, and the tiny piazza outside, where boys kick footballs around, is pure Italian.
The holiday “season” extends approximately from June to the end of September. If you want to avoid the crowds, October/November is a nice time to visit. No wonder tourists love it as it has a lot to offer: amazing sites, wonderful places of interest and breathtaking views. Positano is a town you will never forget!!
