Positano, the famous vertical town part of the Amalfi Coast is a dream destination for many🌅 I loved it because it turned our beach vacation into an interesting trip! 💛 We got there by ferry boat and stayed there for the rest of the day. Unfortunately the costs of hotels and restaurants are high in this area so many tourists come and go in a one day trip☀️ Roads are usually very busy and ferry boats ride are much more convinient also to go visit the rest of the towns on the Amalfi Coast ⛴ Seen from the sea it looks spectacular with all the colourful houses. The narrow streets are filled with local artistic shops and excellent restaurants 🍝 I can't wait to go there again! #beachlife #summervacation #italy

#High-altitude viewing #Overseas travel Blue sea view + rows of houses on the cliff =🧡Positano's most classic scene. It is so beautiful that it seems like a dream, not quite real but still touching. This location on the main road Via Cristoforo Colombo on the mountain is the best place to take photos in Positano. Almost all passers-by will take a photo here. The Amalfi Coast, which stretches for 50 kilometers, was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1997. Positano is the most popular town on the Amalfi Coast among tourists. #StarWriterGoGoGo #ItalianTravel

Positano is one of the many coastal towns that dot the Amalfi Coast. It is easily accessible via bus and train from Naples and can be done in a day trip. The town is perched on the hills that overlook the magnificent sea. As such even upon entering the town, you are greeted with the lovely turquoise color of the sea contrasted against the different colorful houses that line the cliffs. There's a beach at the bottom of the town and I can imagine it will get crowded during the summer months. Like mentioned before, the sea is in different shades of turquoise that change with the light. It's truly a sight you will never forget. It's fun to stroll around the town and get lost in the winding streets leading down to the coast. There are also several restaurants but I found them to be quite catered to tourists, so nothing that is truly unforgettable as for dining here. Nevertheless, a must visit if you're in Naples and can spare a day to visit this cute seaside town. I promise you won't regret it!

Absolutely love Italian food and architecture! Positano was such a gorgeous place with amazing limoncello and seafood 🤤 How can you not be a fan of such beauty? 😆 What’s the best time to visit?

| A Dreamy Poem on the Cliffs. Nestled along Italy's Amalfi Coast lies the picturesque town of Positano, a place seemingly favored by the gods. Here, colorful houses cascade down the cliffs like a vibrant oil painting, while the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean shimmer with romance and tenderness. Join me in exploring Positano and discovering an endless dream of southern France. 🎀 Must-Visit Attractions Positano Beach (Spiaggia Grande) No trip to Positano is complete without visiting its beach. Spiaggia Grande, the main beach, is the lively heart of the town. The azure waters gently lap against the shore, creating a serene oasis. Lounge on the soft sand as the sun warms your skin, surrounded by colorful umbrellas and the joyful sounds of children playing and people relaxing. The aroma of delicious food from nearby seaside restaurants tempts your taste buds—order a refreshing limoncello and let the sea breeze caress your cheeks, feeling as if you’ve stepped into paradise. Santa Maria Assunta Church This church is the soul of Positano, standing on the ruins of an ancient Benedictine monastery, exuding a profound sense of history. Originally built in the 10th century and meticulously restored in the 18th century, it now showcases a stunning blend of Byzantine and Baroque architecture. Its striking green-and-yellow ceramic dome glimmers in the sunlight like a radiant crown. Inside, the Byzantine-era Madonna icon exudes solemnity, while the 1700 Neapolitan nativity scene features lifelike shepherd sculptures, and the walls are adorned with frescoes that whisper ancient tales. Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) The Path of the Gods, winding from Agerola to Positano, is a breathtaking hiking trail steeped in mystery and poetry. Legend says the gods once walked this path to rescue Ulysses from the sirens, and every step feels like tracing the footsteps of ancient myths. Along the way, the Mediterranean’s majestic beauty unfolds before your eyes—azure waters merging with the sky, distant boats like tiny white sails. Vineyards along the route are lush with ripe grapes, and the air is filled with the fresh scent of fruit. Arienzo Beach (Spiaggia di Arienzo) For those seeking tranquility away from the crowds, Arienzo Beach is the perfect escape. Tucked away in a secluded bay, it’s accessible only by descending 300 steep steps, but the reward is worth it: pristine sands and mirror-like waters. Here, time seems to slow, with only the sound of waves and occasional bird calls. Lounge on a beach chair, clear your mind, and immerse yourself in nature’s embrace. Fornillo Beach Fornillo Beach is Positano’s hidden gem—serene, uncrowded, and peaceful. This secluded bay feels like a world apart from the bustling main attractions. The shoreline is dotted with unique rock formations, and the water shimmers in mesmerizing shades of blue under the sun. Snorkeling enthusiasts shouldn’t miss the chance to explore the underwater world, swimming alongside colorful fish and coral. 🍕 Food Recommendations Lemon-Flavored Delicacies Positano is known as the "Lemon Town," and its lemon-infused dishes are a must-try. Lemon pasta combines fresh lemon juice with al dente noodles, each strand bursting with bright, tangy flavor, often paired with tender shrimp or crisp vegetables—it’s like tasting spring in every bite. Lemon granita is another delight, its fine ice crystals melting on your tongue with a refreshing citrusy sweetness, perfect for cooling off on a hot day. Recommended Restaurant: Trattoria da Vincenzo, where the lemon pasta is legendary, made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and authentic techniques. Mediterranean Seafood Feast As a coastal town, Positano’s seafood is a star on the menu. Freshly caught fish, shrimp, crab, and shellfish are simply prepared to highlight their natural flavors. A seafood platter overflows with tender shrimp, succulent crab, and briny shellfish, drizzled with olive oil and vinegar for a taste of the sea. Seafood pasta is another standout, with al dente noodles soaked in rich, briny broth. Recommended Restaurant: Ristorante La Sponda, perched on the cliffs with breathtaking sea views—dine here for both exquisite seafood and stunning Mediterranean vistas. Italian Desserts No visit to Positano is complete without indulging in Italian desserts. Tiramisu layers coffee-soaked ladyfingers with creamy mascarpone cheese, dusted with cocoa for a soft, balanced sweetness. Cannoli, a Sicilian classic, features crispy shells filled with sweet ricotta, often studded with chocolate chips or fruit for a delightful contrast in textures. Recommended Shop: Pasticceria Bruno, a paradise for dessert lovers with its wide array of high-quality treats. #PositanoTravel #PositanoFood #AmalfiCoast

Not recommended—narrow roads and scarce parking (€50+/day). 3. Where to Stay - Luxury: Le Sirenuse (~€5489/night) with infinity pool + sea-view terrace. - Budget-Friendly: Casa delle Camelie (5-minute walk to the beach). 💡 4. Pro Tips - Best Photo Times: Dawn/dusk for soft light and fewer crowds; night lights are magical—bring a tripod. - Essentials: Sturdy shoes (steep cobblestones), sunscreen (strong UV), cash (some shops cash-only). - Day Trip Plan: Early bus → Bus Stop Viewpoint → Church → Beach lunch → Shopping → Sunset ferry back. 💎 Final Note: Positano’s magic lies in *slow living*—breathe in lemon-scented breezes by day, marvel at cliffside lights by night.

#EuropeExploration Day 1: Naples From Rome to Naples by ITALO high-speed train. (It takes about 70 minutes. I took the train that arrived after 13:00.) After visiting the Naples National Museum, I visited the Royal Palace and other places. Day 2: Pompeii, Herculaneum First, I headed to Pompeii by the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway. It takes about 40 minutes from Piazza Garibaldi Station. Pompeii is crowded, so I recommend making a reservation in advance. I took the train that departed from Garibaldi Station after 8:00 am so that I would arrive with plenty of time to spare before the 9:00 am opening time. The most convenient station for sightseeing on the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway is Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri Station. Be careful not to confuse it with other stations. If you want to take your time sightseeing in Pompeii, you should plan on spending 5 hours. Even if you just want to take a quick look, it will take at least 3 hours. I used the Pompeii Plus ticket to see the Villa of the Mysteries and other places, so it took a long time. For lunch, I ate a sandwich I bought at the supermarket, then took the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway from Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri to Ercolano Scavi. Depending on the time of day, you may be able to go directly, or you may need to transfer. I returned to Pompei Scavi - Villa Dei Misteri after 2 p.m., but there was no direct train nearby, so I changed trains at Torre Annunziata and headed to Ercolano Scavi station. It's about a 20-minute walk from here to the Herculaneum ruins. I think it will take about an hour to sightsee here if you're quick, or about two hours if you take your time. Piazza Garibaldi station, which is directly connected to Naples Central Station, is about 20 minutes away by the Vesuvian Circumferential Railway from Ercolano Scavi station, so it's very close. Day 3: Amalfi, Positano I booked a tour that combined buses and ferries. As far as I could see, the cheapest tour you can go to is around 60 euros. I took the tour that departed at 8:20am and arrived in Naples at 5:30pm. After that, I had dinner and returned to Rome.

Amalfi Coast in southern Italy. After Positano, which we introduced last time, Amalfi is the second largest city on the Amalfi Coast. When traveling to Positano from Salerno by bus, you need to change buses at Amalfi. While you're there, we'll introduce a plan to stop by the town of Amalfi and wander around! ! ① Eat lemon sorbet (photos 1 and 2) There are many lemon fields along the Amalfi Coast, and lemons are a local specialty. The lemons are about twice as big as those you can buy in Japan, and apparently they're sweeter! In this lemon town, Amalfi, there are several lemon sorbet shops. The sorbet, which uses the whole lemon peel as a container, is the best! It's a delicious mix of sour and sweet, so even if you visit in winter, be sure to try it 🍨 ② Beach (photo 3) The beach spreads out in front of the Amalfi bus stop 🏖️ Beautiful pastel-colored houses line the coast, and from the beach you can see not only the sea but also the townscape of Amalfi. It's a place to relax, so sit on a bench and enjoy the view. ③ Amalfi Cathedral (photos 4 and 5) A representative tourist spot in Amalfi. The long staircase is a trendy mark, and the cathedral looks very cool when seen from the square. It seems that trade with various countries was conducted in Amalfi in the past, and the cathedral was built by mixing various styles such as Romanesque, Baroque, and Islamic. Of course, you can also visit the inside, so please take a look! ④ Looking for souvenirs in Amalfi The souvenir you should buy in Amalfi is tile work, The colorful tiles with the scenery of Amalfi are very stylish. There were many unique designs. I also recommend the postcards with Amalfi scenery. Please stop by and have a look around. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Amalfi, Italy 📸 : Canon EOS 5D MarkⅣ ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #EuropeStrategy #EuropeTourism #EuropeTourism #Italy #ItalyTrip #ItalyTourism #Amalfi #Positano
