The town is built to follow the natural shape of the cliffs, resulting in a series of terraces and balconies with stunning sea views. The scent of the flowers that adorn the gardens and alleys contributes to creating a magical and romantic atmosphere.

The beach establishments offer sunbeds and umbrellas, allowing visitors to spend days of pure relaxation just a stone’s throw from the sea. The beach is also surrounded by restaurants and cafes offering traditional local cuisine.
Excursions and Activities
Positano is also an ideal starting point for excursions into the surrounding region. You can organize boat trips along the coast, visit surrounding islands such as Capri and Ischia, or explore nearby towns on the Amalfi Coast, such as Amalfi and Ravello.
