Positano Travel Blogs

  Positano - 'Dream Place that isn't Quite Real'   John Steinbeck (excerpts from Harper’s Bazaar, May 1953)   Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone. Its houses climb a hill so stee…

It's hard to express in words how beautiful the small town of Positano truly is.  Seemingly clinging to the face of the cliffs, Positano's buildings gradually rise from the sea to the sky in vibrant colors.  It's this stunning, picture-perfect destination that draws photographers from aro…

I told my mom that one of the things I wanted to do this trip was to lose a little weight. My plan was to change my eating habits some while I didn't have pressures from work etc.  I said I wanted to work out....let's be real, I'm on vacation, I'm not doing a lot of weight lifting.  I am …

If you are considering the Italian Riviera as a possible destination wedding, look no further than Positano.  The hospitality is amazing, the service is impeccable, and the food will leave you with cravings for the rest or your life.  Unforgetable.

Positano was amazing - it is like Cinque Terre, but the cliffs are even more dramatic and the town is bigger. The hostel we stayed at was ideally situated. There was a large balcony overlooking the town and ocean, where everyone would go to chat, mingle, and enjoy the view. There were thunderst…

Clear blue skies today! We sleep late. Both got good sleeps. D typing this up now. Bought some fresh fruit at market. Walked way, way down to town and the beach. Hot. Bright sun. Tried to stay in the shade....talked with some Brits from London, and each had a bottled water to keep cool. Took a hot …

Flew into Rome and traveled south - Capri, Pompeii, and Napoli.

I'll be working near Rome for 2 months, planning to travel before, during, and after the internship.

For our honeymoon my wife Anna, and I went to Thailand, Italy, Germany, Amsterdam, France, UK and Iceland! It was an amazing trip, my first to Europe, between October and November 2006. Anna was around 4 months pregnant with our first son, Jake, so she wasn't able to drink so our dream of drinking red wine in Paris through the night had to be postponed for another trip. Iceland had always been a dream destination for me for as long back as I can remember and I finally made it there!

Positano has the most romantic, breath taking views I have ever seen. I loved it because all you needed were your legs to get around. The buildings are literally built into the cliffs. I am definately going back!!

Me and Zayyaan's travel adventures to Istanbul, Italy, Athens & Mykonos! What a trip!

Positano is known as the "Vertical Village" because the town was built on the side of the mountain and goes from the beach, seemingly straight up the hillside.  Positano is an old fishing village.  There is only one main road going through Positano.  The people who live in the v…

I recently said good-bye to my office job and headed to Italy for the summer. First stop - Positano. I fell in love with this place! It's breath taking! I'm currently living in Rome, at least for the next few months. :)

We spent 11 days on a tour through Italy. We started in Venice then we proceeded to Florence, Rome, Naples, Pompeii, Positano and ended in Milan. We were there at a great time too because of all the World Cup excitement.
