Positano

Tips for visiting Positano

• The town is built into a steep cliff, so expect many stairs. Pack light and wear good shoes.
• The Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) is a famous coastal hike that ends above Positano.
• The coast road is narrow and crowded in summer. Ferries in season from Salerno, Amalfi, Sorrento and Naples are often easier than the bus or car.
• Lemons and limoncello are everywhere along this coast.

Dates, prices and rules change, so check official sites before you travel.
