About Positano & the Amalfi Coast
Positano, the jewel of Italy's Amalfi Coast, clings dramatically to near-vertical cliffs on the Sorrentine Peninsula, its pastel houses tumbling down terraced hillsides like a watercolor painting come to life. This UNESCO World Heritage coastline has captivated travelers since Roman times when emperors built villas to capture the views, but Positano truly became legendary in the 1950s and 60s when John Steinbeck wrote "Positano bites deep" and Hollywood stars made it their playground, establishing the Amalfi Coast as synonymous with Italian Riviera glamour. The village itself is a masterpiece of vertical living—narrow streets (more like staircases) wind between bougainvillea-draped buildings in shades of coral, terracotta, peach, and lemon yellow, descending toward the marina and Spiaggia Grande where colorful fishing boats rest on dark volcanic pebbles. The green-and-yellow majolica dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta dominates the waterfront, visible from every angle, while family-run boutiques sell handmade sandals and linen clothing in that effortlessly chic Positano style. Life here revolves around the sea and the sun: morning espresso on terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, afternoons swimming in grottos accessible only by boat, aperitivo hour when Campari spritzes appear and the cliffsides glow golden, and evenings when strings of lights illuminate restaurants carved into the rocks. The famous Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods) hiking trail offers breathtaking views down to Positano from above—the village appears impossibly beautiful from this vantage, like a fantasy village that couldn't possibly exist in the real world. Nearby sister villages Amalfi, Ravello, and Praiano add to the coast's allure, while the winding coastal road (SS 163) ranks among the world's most spectacular drives, carved into cliffs with the Mediterranean stretching endlessly blue. Positano represents everything magical about southern Italy: dramatic natural beauty, centuries-old traditions, food that tastes like sunshine (limoncello, seafood pasta, sfogliatella), and that particular Italian gift for living well. This poster honors Positano's postcard perfection, its place in Italian coastal mythology, and the powerful draw of a village so beautiful it inspired John Steinbeck to write that once you're there, "there is only Positano to see, only Positano to think about."
