Positano was a relatively poor fishing village during the first half of the twentieth century. It began to attract large numbers of tourists in the 1950s, especially after John Steinbeck published his essay about Positano in Harper's Bazaar in May, 1953: "Positano bites deep", Steinbeck wrote. "It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." Positano rapid growth from a small fishing village to an international destination is credited to the rise of the tourism industry. In addition to the beaches, cliffs, and historic sites, clothing stores and restaurants are scattered throughout Positano, attracting tourists from around the world.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Amalfi, Amalfi, Amalfi Coast, Province of Salerno, Campania
The city starts at the water's edge with a pretty promenade along the Mediterranean and a marina full of colorful boats and their international flags. The focal point of the historic center is the Piazza del Duomo, in front of the striking cathedral. The piazza is clustered with sidewalk cafes and elegant shops, but the sixty steps leading to the church beckon to be scaled to visit the Byzantine style structure that bears Moorish-influenced arches and decoration. Dedicated to St. Andrew, the Duomo di Sant'Andrea is a truly beautiful structure. Inside is the hidden Cloister of Paradise, dating to 1266, with a forest of columns, Arabesque arches and an amazing fresco. The crypt is highly decorated and worth a visit, too.
Italian mariner Flavio Gioia was an Amalfitan who is credited with inventing the modern-style magnetic compass and packaging into a portable container. There is a monument and piazza in his honor here in his hometown. The "tavole amalfitane" are ancient drafts of Amalfi's intricate maritime codes, preserved in the Civic Museum. The town has a long history as a center of paper mills, so be sure to stop into the Museo della Carta (Paper Museum) to see how the pretty products were (and still are!) made by hand. There are still some family-owned paper mills that carry on the tradition.

Staying in St Agnello for a week my family and I decided we wanted to do a day on the Amalfi coast having looked into the options we decided to go with a private driver.Researching the internet we chose Sorrento limo the company to go with, what a good decision that was. Having pre-brooked I got an email confirming pick up time etc for the 25th of April for 8.30am,on the said morning my family and I got to the hotel foyer and our driver Rafaello was waiting for us! what a really nice chap he was too. Having got into the very well maintained vehicle which was comfy and suited our needs, we set off on our journey. All throughout the day Rafa was informative he stopped off at the take a picture stops and gave us enough time in places like Positano and Amalfi. Earlier in the day I asked Rafa for a lunch recommendation in Ravello with good food and a sea view,he said I’ve got the place I’ll have book it now to get a table, which he did. The restaurant Rafa got us a table for was fantastic also by booking in advance I say we got the best table in the house with stunning views looking out to sea, other diners were envious, people were turned away! I could go on and on with positive vibes! All in all a great day was had. P.s I hope you enjoyed the Sambuca!!Gennaro picked us up from our Airbnb in Sorrento and gave a great day tour of the Amalfi Coast (Positano, Amalfi, & Ravello).
