Positano

“Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone. It’s houses climb a hill so steep it would be a cliff except that stairs are cut in it.” John Steinbeck

Positano is a beautiful little cliffside village on southern Italy’s Amalfi Coast. It’s famous for its colourful buildings, steep and narrow streets, excellent restaurants and cafes and gorgeous little unique boutiques, mostly owned by locals.

When is the best time to visit Positano?

The official tourist season is between Easter and the end of September. We went in May and learned that in May and June prices are generally lower than in July and August and it is less busy with tourists. The temperature is perfect and everything is blooming with its most amazing scents.

Does Positano have a beach?

Oh yes! Marina Grande Beach is one of the most picturesque beaches. This beach is an ideal picture postcard material. The beach is divided into two bathing establishments and an area where excursions along the coast and shuttle boats to nearby towns can be booked from.

Positano is the perfect walking city. Every turn, every little road and corner brings something new. The charm of this absolute gorgeous city is magical and intoxicating. It is the perfect romantic getaway for couples but also a step counting experience for families.

“Positano is a love story set against the backdrop of the warm Amalfi Coast.” – William James

The most delicious treat you will ever have – meet the Italian Ice Cream Sandwich – Brioche con gelato. This is South Italians version of breakfast, soft sweet eggy bun filled with two flavours of smooth and creamy gelato.

Positano is just the perfect place to just sit back, relax, and take in the view, I honestly could have spent hours just sitting there and watching the people whilst drinking their famous Aperol Spritz

• INSTRUCTIONS:
• Add ice to a wine glass until it is nearly full. Pour in the Aperol (about one-third of the glass).
• Pour in an equal amount of Prosecco. Top your drink off with a splash of club soda and add a slice of orange. Enjoy!

A dream come true and one tick more on my bucket list! It’s a magnificent and magical place, a must see, must visit! And even on the greyest day, it shines in all its bright colours!
