📍How to Get to Positano & Your First Glimpse Getting to Positano is an experience in itself. Positano can be reached by car, bus, or ferry, with stunning views along the Amalfi Coast road no matter the route. If you arrive by bus or car, you’ll be dropped off at the upper part of the village. From there, a scenic walk down Via Cristoforo Colombo leads you into the heart of Positano. This scenic street gently winds down the cliffside, revealing panoramic views of the colorful village cascading toward the sea. It’s one of the most picturesque parts of Positano, and a perfect photo opportunity. You’ll likely find yourself pausing every few steps to snap photos and take in the beauty. 📸What to See in Positano Although Positano is compact, it's filled with charm and memorable sights: ▪︎ Church of Santa Maria Assunta – Known for its beautiful tiled dome and the famous Byzantine icon of the Virgin Mary. ▪︎ Path of the Gods (Il Sentiero degli Dei) – A scenic hiking trail with breathtaking views over the coast and villages below. ▪︎ Spiaggia Grande – The main beach, ideal for sunbathing, people-watching, or sipping a drink by the sea. ▪︎ Fornillo Beach – A quieter beach, just a 10-minute walk from the main one, perfect for those seeking a bit more calm. 🍕Where to Eat: A Taste of Positano Great food is part of the Positano experience.
