Positano.
To compliment the vertical landscape, here is Italys', nearly vertical town. Positano spills down from the cornice like a waterfall of pink, cream and yellow villas. The oldest houses are in the upper part. The daytrippers may walk down to the sea; only the alpinists among them make it back up (fortunately, there is a regular bus service to take you back to the top). The descent ends at Marina Grand, a pebbled beach used by fishing boats.From here you can get a boat to inlets inaccessible by land or take a ferry back to Sorrento or Capri. Marina Grand is lined with bars and restaurants. By the harbour,artists sit with their easels, painting this amazing town. Exclusive and fashionable, few places are as picturesque as Positano. The centre of the town is a pedestrianised maze of cobbled alleyways and steps leading to chic boutiques and craft shops, famous for their bright patterned textiles. The church of Santa Maria Assunta, with it's traditional colourful dome, is a focal point of the town.

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 thunderstorms over the sea the first night that we were
there, but it wasn't raining over the town itself. We sat out on the
balcony and watched the lightning strike the ocean a few miles away and
it was ...

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 steep it would be a cliff except that stairs are cut in it. I believe that whereas most house foundation are vertical, in Positano they are horizontal. The small curving hay of unbelievably blue and green water lips gently on a beach of small pebbles. There is only one ...
