Amalfi CoastβοΈ
Magically suspended between the blue sky and the iridescent colored sea, the Amalfi coast seems to be born from the palette of a painter who wanted to use the warmer color gradients for creating a landscape that enchants the visitor at the first shot, giving thrilling experience and such evocative view to doubt, for a moment, it is real. It is the land where the sweet scent of lemon blossoms harmonizes itself with the most aromatic one of the Mediterranean vegetation and the acrid aroma of saltiness; where the brilliant colors of the majolica domes, bougainvillea and carnations pergolas give an evident colored touch to the typical whitewashed houses, clinging to the last offshoots of the Lattari Mounts that plunge dramatically into the sea. A vertical landscape, in short, characterized by a picturesque labyrinth of stairways and narrow alleys, connecting the two main elements of this landscape: the mountains and the sea.
Positano
Positano, like the legendary Sirens of Li Galli, never fails to seduce. Seen from the sea, Positano is set in a dramatic vertical panorama of colors; the green of the Monti Lattari, the white, pink and yellow of the Mediterranean houses, the silvery grey of its pebble beaches and the blue of the sea. The Ancient Romans built a number of sumptuous villas on the coast of Positano, the ruins of which can be seen in the vicinity of the Church dell'Assunta. Read more here!

Fly βοΈ
Most visitors heading for the Amalfi Coast fly into Naples or if already in the country make their way from Rome or Salerno. The nearest airport to Positano is Naples. Spend a few days in Naples then catch a ferry, train, or hire a driver to get to the Amalfi Coast. -
Train π
Weβll start by saying that there is no train service going into the Amalfi Coast. The closest you can get by train is Vietri sul Mare west of Salerno, or if coming from Naples, the Circumvesuviana train ends in Sorrento. -
Bus π
But not to worry, from either Sorrento or Salerno you can take a SITA bus. The bus from Sorrento to Positano takes about 45 minutes. We took the bus from Positano to Sorrento after our stay there, and it was quick and comfortable.
