 John WHO??? by Geisha_Girl
Obviously, none of the locals knew who the heck he was and it was only us frivolous Americans who knew the trivia. He was filming his Christmas Special so hearing "Joy to the World" on a hot coastal day didn't quite set the right ambience.
Then when John dropped to all fours and started doing push ups on his piano bench...well, that's when we decided to close up shop and call it a day! Leave a Comment

 Positano: Not your run o'
the mill topless haven by Geisha_Girl
Your best bet would be to take the boat out to a secluded cove area.....there you can sunbathe and swim in your "birthday suit" to your heart's content! Leave a Comment

 Positano 'sidewalk' by ct-bound
By the second day though, your calves really let you know if they're not used to excessive stairclimbing!
I strongly recommend taking the 'local' Positano bus as close to your hotel as possible when you arrive, because it's tricky doing all those stairs with all your luggage, I can tell you! Some places actually have elevators that go from the hotel to the beach, so if you're mobility impaired, I recommend you find one of those to stay in :) Leave a Comment

If you are going to drive. Be very careful the roads are very narrow and windy. I reccommend taking the bus that way you can look at the beautiful view and let the drivers do all the hard work. The buses we took all the drivers were very skillful. Leave a Comment

Even some hundred grams of the very common - in Italy - prociutto crudo and parmesan reggio in local shop will make tight hole onto your travel budget. Decent italian four-venue meal for one person - without wines will cost to you easily some 25 euros.
Price level in the slope is highest down in the village centre and goes down both upward and to the west. So the cheapest hotels are some five hundred meter above sea and one kilometer and a half to the west from the village centre.
If you have tight travel budget, check in advange where your accommodation will be in Positano. Normally it is very easy to go to the another side of the town for cheaper things. But in Positano three hundred meter to nearest affordable pizzeria can mean healthy three hundred meters of healthy climbing in steep steps upward or half hour bus trip.
And same thing with changing accommodation. Positano is not the place to walk around for asking prices for staying overnight with backpack or luggages. In summer, whole town is full-booked and there is not such a thing like sleeping in the park or cheap camping. If you have to search accommodation, go to the bottom of the bottom of the slope to the village centre and Positano tourist office. But easier is to book your accommodation in advance via net and email.
Prices are high due to very difficult transporting of goodies and also American tourists. Positano is very popular among American-Italian immigrants, their perils and honeymooners. In restaurants you can hear more english than italian. Leave a Comment
