Positano

It is easy to be mesmerized by the beauty of the center of Positano. It seemingly has everything that a luxury coastal town could need to offer its travelers. Clothes, antiques, lemon flavored treats under canopies of hanging flowers, exquisite dining… you name it. However, it would be a shame if you didn’t at least take a look around the coast to see what the area has to offer! Take a boat ride to really get a stunning view of town.

While facing the Sea far off to the right side of the beach you will find a twisting path way that past the harbor.

The path is called Via Positanesi Di America. Here you can stroll through a lush ravine to the other, probably lesser known beach in Positano. These hidden, small pathways are really gives these coastal towns a unique touch and provides even more spectacular views of the coast in the distance. It is less crowded so makes a perfect spot for so trying to get away from the commotion and just relax by the water or take a walk, listening to the waves scouring for seashells.
