The pastel-colored structures clung precariously to the cliffs, narrow cobblestone pathways meandered through them, and tiny beaches nestled below—Positano and Amalfi exude an enduring allure that makes these towns beloved destinations.
As you travel along the coastal road perched above the Tyrrhenian Sea, Positano gradually reveals itself, showcasing its colorful tiered homes—a quintessential image of Italy often seen on postcards. Known once as an artist’s retreat, the village now attracts many visitors who flock here for its charm. Spend time wandering through its narrow medieval lanes before heading downhill towards the petite Santa Maria Assunta church, which dates back to the 13th century. Then visit the MAR (Museum of Roman Antiquities) Positano to explore remnants from a Roman mansion entombed during the volcanic blast of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Be sure not to miss basking under the Mediterranean sunshine at the beautiful Fornillo and Grande beaches. From there, head toward Amalfi, the historical core of southern Italy’s western coastline. This quaint city exudes a Spanish flair; towering white buildings overlook the ocean, presenting a breathtaking panorama. Meander about its bustling port area, step inside the magnificent cathedral, and lose yourself amidst the labyrinthine alleys until evening descends upon the charming hillside eateries.
