The coastline extends 60 kilometers (37 miles) south of Naples (Napoli) and north of Salerno, in Italy's southern region of Campania. The entire Amalfi Coast is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, including Positano and the equally picturesque towns of Amalfi and Ravello.

It is these unique charms that make Positano one of the most sought-after destinations in all of Italy for those wanting to sample the country’s timeless “dolce vita” atmosphere.
Where is Positano?
Positano is the first town you reach on the Amalfi Coast when arriving from Naples, and it is about 20 minutes by car from the Sorrentine Peninsula and about 30 minutes from Capri by ferry. After Positano, the next towns are Praiano, Conca de' Marini, Amalfi and the other villages on the coast.
You can reach Positano by bus from Sorrento or Amalfi (there are two stops: "La Sponda" and "Chiesa Nuova"). There are also ferries in summer from Sorrento and Capri.
Positano, a village built from the bottom to the top of an Italian hill of Monte Comune, in the province of Salerno, by the sea. It is absolutely breathtaking to see these houses one above the other because at first glance At first glance you only see these houses and more vegetation, when in fact there are citrus gardens and palm trees.
During your walk in the village, your steps may take you down a sloping path and at the end you will see the sea, and like many visitors, you will have the impression that the path flows into the sea, it is really surprising! Visiting the village requires courage for some and in addition to wearing good shoes, because it is made up of many stairs or steps that cross the streets.
You can sometimes feel oppressed as the houses are so close to each other and so high. Despite these faults for some, Positano has a charm of its own and the proof is that the village, in summer, is crowded with tourists and that artists have made it their place of creation.
Positano, thanks to its port, was a flourishing village in the 16th and 17th centuries, then the inhabitants deserted this region to go to the United States to experience a better life. The village lived only from its fishing then tourists arrived in the middle of the 20th century and since then, it has drawn its main wealth from tourism because its coast is one of the most beautiful on the Amalfi Coast. Faced with the influx of rich tourists, luxury boutiques are setting up in the street and the village is experiencing a surge in prices which does not make the inhabitants happy.
On the village square “Piazzetta des Moulins” you will find the church mentioned in the legend of the Madonna
