A poor fishing
village until
tourism boomed in
the late 1950s,
Positano is now
amongst the most
visited locations on
the Amalfi coast.
From a distance,
Positano looks like
a small hill where
pastel coloured
houses with red
roofs are all
standing next to
each other
overlooking the bay.
Some people in fact
describe it as a
living nativity
scene! When you are
walking in Positano
you feel captured by
its simple but
stunning beauty, the
sea can be seen
practically from
everywhere and you
will have a wide
choice of cafés and
restaurants where to
choose from. Over
the years Positano
has also become
renowned for its
fashion in linen
clothes, leather
shoes and leather
handbags – a real
treat for women who
enjoy a little
window shopping!
Another point of
interest for those
interested in
architecture is the
church of Santa
Maria in the centre
of the village which
also hosts art work
dated from the 13th
and 14th
century. |
