The breathtaking beauty of Positano
Once you’ve arrived at this destination you’ll soon understand why it’s been pulling in the celebs over the decades. Many places are described as breath-taking, but Positano really is.
It’s not simply the beauty of the local architecture and landscape that’ll have you in awe. It’s also access to beautiful beaches, its quality restaurants and general easy-going vibe that make Positano such an idyllic town to holiday in.
Exploring the locale
Whether you hire a bike, go on a pony trek or simply enjoy a long and invigorating walk, there are plenty of local beauty spots and attractions for you to enjoy. A nine-minute walk away from the centre of Positano lies the Grotta di Fornillo. This extraordinary venue showcases sculptures of a crib and surrounding buildings created by a local artist. If you’re driving from Amalfi to Sorrento it’s worth slowing down to take a peek.
When you’re feeling energetic you can always take a 35-minute walk to Montepertuso, to the east of Positano, located in the hills above the town. From Montepertuso you can walk on to the Oasis of Vallone Porto, with its waterfalls and rare plants.
Beautiful beaches
Holidays in Positano put you within easy reach of a range of beaches. Spiaggia Grande is the town beach and once you sprawl out on the sunloungers here you’ll be able to indulge in some stunning views over the Tyrrhenian sea. The beach is 300 metres long, and at one end is a footpath that’ll take you to the more tranquil Fornillo beach, only a 10-minute walk away.
Other bays along this coast can be easily reached by taking a boat tour from Positano’s Marina Grande. Clavel, Remmese and Cavone can only be accessed from the sea, so if you want a peaceful day out take a boat trip to one of these secluded spots.
As well as boat trips, you’ll also be able to take to the seas in a sea kayak and explore some of the caves and grottos dotted around this coastline. You can snorkel with ease once you reach some of the local deserted beaches thanks to the crystal transparency of the water.
