This Is Italy
Positano, a colorful village perched carelessly against the cliffs of the Amalfi Coast seems to have been busted. Countless pictures are circulating on Pinterest. It is high on the wish list of many to travel to. But when that moment finally comes, what should you definitely see and do? In this blog we give you 10 things that we think you should definitely do in Positano.
1. Rent a beach chair and enjoy the view
You don't have to do more. Just rent a beach chair (is not expensive), plop down and enjoy. Finally you are where all those other people want to be.
2. Buy handmade leather sandals
Handmade sandals are popular on the Amalfi Coast. And from Positano come the most beautiful. It will just be difficult to choose just one pair.
3. Fresh strawberries with prosecco
You can buy the tastiest strawberries here. Treat yourself to a few mini bottles of prosecco, grab a good book and enjoy yourself on the beach or on the balcony of your apartment.
4. Find the height of Positano
It's the elevation changes that make Positano so great. Take to the skies and take the most beautiful photos from every angle.
5. Rent a paddle board
Paddle boarding (also called 'supping') is becoming increasingly popular. This water sport involves standing on a small surfboard and propelling yourself forward with a paddle. Totally zen! And it gives you the opportunity to explore the coastline around Positano from the water.
6. Explore the Grotta di Smeraldo
One of the few caves with an intense blue water, just like the Grotta Azzurra on Capri. However, the blue cave at Positano is less crowded. The cave is accessible from the main road along the Amalfi Coast. At the parking lot you go down with the elevator, after which a boat takes you to the Grotta di Smeraldo.
7. Shopping!
Stroll the Piazza dei Mulini and make it a shopping trip! It is wonderful shopping in this narrow, pedestrian street in the heart of Positano with many shops, bars and restaurants.
8. Positano's best panini
At Vini & Panini you get – the name says it all – the tastiest wines and sandwiches. You can have your sandwiches invested yourself and take them with you to munch on the beach. They also have sun-ripened fruit and proseccos for long and lazy afternoons. Need we say more?
9. Sipping your granita
On the Amalfi Coast, you should definitely have tasted a lemon granita. A kind of slush puppy, but much better. Divine in the Italian sun!
10. Visit the Santa Maria Assunta
A real eye-catcher, this yellow-tinted church is in almost every photo of Positano. A trip to the Amalfi village is therefore not complete without a visit to the Santa Maria Assunta.
