Positano

positano travel guide
Aside from the beaches, the sight to see here is the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta; inside you'll find a Byzantine "Black Madonna" built in the 13th century. Although it's extremely expensive, Il San Pietro di Positano is one of the most unique hotels in the world. Its rooms are carved right into the cliffs of Sorrentine Peninsula.

This mountain is one of only three perforated mountains in the world—meaning that it has a hole through it! The gray beaches are the main attraction, and public sections are crowded while private sections are usually a bit costly, but you get an umbrella, changing rooms, and a beach chair. The Spiaggia Grande is the beach at the center of town, but many others can be reached via footpath or speedboat. If you like hiking, Positano has some exciting hikes, especially Montepertuso.

A splendid and famous holiday resort, Sorrento stands on a terrace rising steeply above the sea on one of the most spectacular points of the Campanian coast. Because of its enchanting position and mild climate, sheltered by the surrounding hills, Sorrento has been a favorite resort since Romans times, and it became an elite tourist resort from the eighteenth century, its hotels welcoming such luminaries as Ibsen, Wagner and Nietzche.
