- Il Sentiero Degli DeiRead more
- Walk of the GodsKnown locally as Sentiero Degli Dei, the Walk (or Path) of the Gods is an approximately 4.7-mile hike along the Amalfi Coast. It'll take you about three to five hours from Bomberano to Nocelle, depending on your fitness level and the number of stops you take. It's a mostly downhill hike, with gorgeous views of the Amalfi coastline and Tyrrhenian sea along the way. The best time to take on the hike is during the fall or spring months, when the weather is milder. You can try the hike yourself or sign up for a guided hiking tour, where you can learn more about the history and biodiversity of the area. – TripadvisorRead more
- FornilloOffering some peace and quiet from the crowded Spiaggia Grande, Fornillo is a hidden gem that’s popular with the locals. The black pebble beach is around 984 feet long and is flanked by two towers at either end. You can reach Fornillo via a 10-minute walk from the main beach, or by descending hundreds of steps from the top of Positano. Plan ahead to visit during the Fish Festival, where there’s live music, dancing, a market selling fish cooked in all ways and a complimentary glass of wine for each visitor. – TripadvisorRead more
- Arienzo Beach Club, PositanoEscape the crowds at Arienzo Beach Club, which can be reached via a free shuttle boat from the main Positano pier La Banchina. A beach club, cocktail bar, and restaurant in one, Arienzo is helmed by a team of attentive staff who bring your food and drink directly to your sunbed. All packages include a sunbed, towel, umbrella, bottle of water, an appetiser, and a main course. You can opt for premium packages for your sunbed to be closer to the sea. It's recommended to make reservations, especially during the peak months of July and August. – TripadvisorRead more
- MAR - Museo Archeologico Romano PositanoThe valley in which Positano is located, with its beach, its steep limestone cliffs and its salubrious climate, witnessed the establishment of a sumptuous roman villa designed for “otium” – leisure time – at the end of the 1st century BC. As part of the Surrentum area (modern Sorrento), the villa was one of a number of luxury villas that had evolved on the Sorrentine peninsula by early Julio-Claudian times. Villas on the Sorrento peninsula may have become desirable when Tiberius retired to the island of Capri in 26 AD and members of the élite may have wished to be only a short boat-trip away from the imperial court. The complex at Positano featured a peristyle with, most probably, a central garden and a fountain. This was described in the late eighteenth century by the Swiss architect Karl Weber. Today all this is a museum MAR (Archeological roman Museum)Read more
- Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta e Cripta MedievaleThe Medieval Crypt is located just below the altar of the Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta. It was built in the 12th century. a. C. with parts of a Roman Villa that was in Positano in the 1st Century A. C..Read more
- Spiaggia GrandeFramed by colorful houses built into the surrounding cliffs, Spiaggia Grande is the main beach of Positano. Rent a sunbed and go for a dip in the refreshing clear turquoise waters. Then, hop on a boat tour or make your way through the town up to Via Cristoforo Colombo Overlook—both offer brilliant views of the Amalfi Coast from different perspectives. If you're looking to escape the crowds, try Fornillo Beach, a 10-minute walk away. Regardless, get in early to nab yourself a good spot for the day, and bring footwear for the small stones that make up the beaches. – TripadvisorRead more
