Enchanting Positano: A Slice of Heaven on the Amalfi Coast”
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Positano: A gem nestled along the rugged cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, where azure waters kiss sun-kissed beaches and bougainvillea-draped villas cling to the hillsides. My stay here was nothing short of magical.
The Views: Prepare to lose your breath. Positano’s vistas are straight from a dream. Whether sipping limoncello on a terrace or strolling down Via Cristoforo Colombo, every angle reveals a postcard-worthy scene. The iconic Spiaggia Grande, with its colorful umbrellas, beckons for lazy afternoons.
The Locals: Warm, spirited, and unabashedly proud of their town, the locals welcome you with open arms. Yes, they’ll take your money (with a wink), but it’s all part of the charm. Their recommendations—like the best gelato at Buca di Bacco—are spot-on.
Dining Delights: Seafood aficionados, rejoice! From La Tagliata’s cliffside feasts to Da Vincenzo’s lemon-infused pasta, Positano tantalizes taste buds. Pair your meal with a crisp Falanghina wine, and you’re in culinary heaven.
Beach Bliss: Marina Grande, Fornillo, and Laurito—each beach has its allure. Sunbathe, swim, and let the waves serenade you. Just be prepared for the pebbly shores—bring comfy sandals!
Fashion & Craftsmanship: Positano’s fashion legacy dates back to the '60s. Wander the narrow streets, adorned with boutiques showcasing handmade linen dresses and leather sandals. You’ll leave with a piece of Positano’s soul.
Final Verdict: Positano stole my heart. It’s the kind of place that lingers in your memories, whispering, “Come back soon.” So, pack your sunhat, embrace the dolce vita, and let Positano weave its magic. 🇮🇹❤️

Read moreAmalfi Coastal Drive, Posettino & Sorrento!
Wow, ok I have not yet covered Napoli much, as I don’t want to offend some of my Italian brethren!
BUT, when taking the long-winding road to Amalfi, then one is definitely in for a drive of a lifetime!
Total trip (driving only) about 4 hours, through tight & winding roads up and down the mountains! But when finally reaching Amalfi (our first stop) it becomes clear why this is such a fantastic hot spot! Nestled in the mountain side one is in awe of what it takes to build such environment!
The town itself, stunning, super small yet clean, a favourite with tourists for sure, we can only imagine what this place must be like during the high seasons!
Next stop was Posettino, also build into the mountain side, a single one way road from high up steep down (we almost missed the turn to Sorrento, which would have added another 45 minutes driving) nice place, if you like hiking up & down, surely a choice for you!!😆😆😆
Sorrento, this is one wonderful city, so totally different to Napoli! Super organised, clean, some great views, even a Leading Hotel of the world here, which looks so totally inviting!
Wife asked why we could not have stayed here and do only a 2-3 day trip to Napoli? Good question!
Overall we spend 8 hours on the road on this spectacular drive through stunning scenery and interesting stops!
Super highly recommended!
Enjoy
PS, while I was driving most of the photo’s taken don’t quite reflect some of the scenery where I simply could not stop! Pity
