The city
What to expect from Positano.
Positano descends the hillside in steps down to the sea, with pastel-colored houses, narrow stair streets and shops selling linen clothing and handmade sandals. Below are the Spiaggia Grande and the church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its ceramic dome. Above, the Sentiero degli Dei reaches Nocelle, a small village belonging to Positano. There is no train station: you get there by bus or by boat.

The local experience
What to see in Positano
Beach
Spiaggia Grande
The main beach of Positano, made of grey pebbles, with colorful umbrellas and the village rising in terraces behind it. Beside it, via a seaside trail, lies the quieter Fornillo beach.
Trail
Sentiero degli Dei
Trail of about 7.8 km in the heights of the Montes Lattari, from Bomerano (Agerola) to Nocelle (Positano), with continuous views of the coast to the island of Capri. Almost all downhill in that direction.
