Positano Walking Tour
Positano, Italy
Why Walk Positano
Positano tumbles from the coastal road to the beach in a cascade of pastel-colored houses clinging to near-vertical cliffs. The town became an artists' colony in the mid-20th century — John Steinbeck wrote that it 'bites deep' and is 'a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there.' The Church of Santa Maria Assunta, with its distinctive majolica-tiled dome, anchors the town above the beach.
