Sights & Activities
Positano's most memorable sight is its unforgettable townscape - a vertiginous stack of
pastel-coloured houses tumbling down to
Spiaggia Grande
, the main beach. Although it
isn't anyone's dream beach, with greyish sand covered by legions of bright umbrellas, the
water's clean and the setting is memorable. Hiring a chair and umbrella on the fenced-off
areas costs around €18 per person per day, but the crowded public areas are free.
Getting around town is largely a matter of walking. If your knees can take the slopes,
there are dozens of narrow alleys and stairways that make walking relatively easy and joy-
ously traffic-free. Be sure to take the local bus to the top of the town for the best views
and wind your way down on foot, via steps and slopes, enjoying the memorable vistas en
route.
