Positano: Attractions and more...
The church of Santa Maria Assunta with its tiled dome is one of Positano’s most important structures. Positano boasts of some stunning beaches along its rugged coastline. Fornillo is a small beach with no ferry traffic; a small distance away, it is also less crowded. Spiaggia Grande is the town’s commercial beach buzzing with tourists; ferries to and from nearby islands also ply from this beach.
While in Positano, make a trip to the village of Nocelle, at the top of the mountain, for the best views of the neighbouring areas. The island of Capri can be reached by the ferry; it is especially famous for its Blue Grottos. The thermal spas of the island of Ischia and the Greek ruins of Paestum, too, are just a ferry ride away. These islands make for ideal summer getaways.
The Positano Art Festival is the town’s most important festival. It includes a food and wine festival, canoe races and concerts.
