 positano - amalfi coast by dvideira Although I have stayed in Praiano, Positano was my starting point to many activities. There, in a small dock besides the grey peebly beach we find ferries to Amalfi, Sorrento, Salerno, and Capri - and also we can take the Sita bus to Sorrento if we want to go to Pompeii. Almost every day I took the Pullmino Giallo ( a small yellow bus ) that conects Praiano to Positano and enjoyed the road climbed through orange and lemon groves and terraced vineyards - thanks to the heroic-genius italian bus drivers, who made me feel confident in miracles and relax while we were on perhaps the most winding narrow road in Italy, with its sheer cliffs, and the cobalt-blue Tyrrhenian Sea 300m below...

 positano - amalfi coast by dvideira Leaving it ( or arriving there ) by boat is a beautiful way of seeing Positano...nested at the southern feet of the Lattari mountains and crowned by the steep slopes of Monte Comune and Monte S. Angelo in Tre Pizzi - all around rise green mountains - its arcaded, cubist buildings, set in tiers up the mountainside, with dawn-color walls: rose, peach, burgundy... what a picturesque view.

 s. maria assunta - positano - amalfi coast by dvideira Right in the centre of Positano, in the small Piazza Flavio Gioia, stands the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta. The building with its large majolica-mosaic dome contains important works of art, outstanding between them is a Circumcision, a stupendous work by Fabrizio Santafede, from the end of the sixteenth century, and a delightful thirteenth-century Byzantine-style panel depicting the Virgin and Child.

 leaving Positano :-( by sandysmith The view of Positano as we left by boat back to Amalfi was a lovely sight. Indeed this is the best way to take in Positano. It had taken us nearly 4 hours to reach here so we relished the thought of not having to hike all the way back. The 30 min boat ride (costing 4 euros) was all too short when you have such stunning scenery to admire.

 Positano view by sandysmith Positano has ancient origins, being founded by the fugitives of Paestum, escaping from the Saracens (confirmed by historical searches). Incidentally if you have the chance to visit Paestum, south of Salerno, do - its a marvellous site of greek temples. Lots of info on my Paestum page. It has followed the same destiny of the Amalfi Republic; it was the place of the Naval Academy too. During the 16th and 17th century, it became rich thanks to this trade.

 Positano beach by sandysmith The main beach of Positano is of volcanic sand and small stones, located at the foot of the town. Rocky mountains separate the main beach from smaller seashores: Fornillo beach, situated just to the left and La Porta and Arienzo beaches just to the right of the main beach.

 bye bye Positano by sandysmith As we sailed past Positano and the coastline back to Amalfi we tried to pick out the cliff where we had walked - but they all looked so much the same, but we could see the white houses and church tower of Montepertuso towards the top of the cliffs where we started to make our descent - WOW it was a long way down.

 The Ultimate Tanning Machine by Geisha_Girl Checking out the other coastal towns was a treat! You can pay around 8 Euros for cruises to the neighboring towns such as Amalfi, Ravello, and Capri.
This was our first day trip to Capri. We were on a nice size boat with a deck large enough for all of us to kick back and dig the scene.......... Leave a Comment

 Buongiorno Principessa!! by Geisha_Girl I couldn't stress enough to folks traveling to Positano how ROMANTIC this town is! However, even if you're just traveling with a group of friends like we did.......it's still the best place to just sit back and chill. It was the most relaxing time I have ever had on holiday!
Good friends, good times, and being pampered like the PRINCIPESSAS that we are!!! Leave a Comment
