.
Positano and Amalfi are considered the two jewels of the Amalfi Coast and no trip to the area is complete without a day spent exploring these picturesque seaside towns.
.
Ideally, you would have time to dedicate a full day to each one of these historic highlights to enjoy in their distinct atmospheres, explore their sights and shops, and even take a dip in the sea off their coastlines, weather permitting.
.
With a bit of planning and some tips, however, you can visit Positano and Amalfi in a single day if you have limited time on the amalfi coast.

GETTING AROUND THE AMALFI COAST TIPS AND INFO
- The easiest way to get around along the coast is by ferry: there are routes that run between Amalfi, Positano, Salerno,Napoli , Sorrento and the island of Capri. Otherwise, there are Sita public buses that run the length of the coast. An excellent alternative is to rent a scooter, so you have all the freedom you want to get around without having to deal with traffic jams and parking. i do not suggest driving, especially during high season.

ITINERARY : AMALFI AND POSITANO
.
- FIRST STOP AMALFI
Amalfi is perhaps the most interesting town along the Amalfi Coast from a historic point of view, having once been a powerful Maritime Republic. Traces of its glorious past can still be found in its bustling historic center set between the seaside and coastal peaks, and visitors have been admiring its cultural highlights for centuries. Be sure to enjoy the authentic atmosphere here that combines Mediterranean culture with architectural treasures influenced by waves of invaders from the Normans to the Saracens.
.
- WHAT TO SEE IN AMALFI
In the half day you have to explore the highlights in Amalfi, I suggest you begin with the Duomo di Sant'Andrea, making sure to take in the excellent museum and dazzling Cloister of Paradise. Afterwards, lose yourself in the warren of narrow lanes in Amalfi's historic center, strolling uphill until you reach the Rione Vagliendola neighborhood, home to the Paper Museum dedicated to Amalfi's long tradition of papermaking. Otherwise, you can relax and sunbathe at one of Amalfi's beaches before continuing on to Positano.
.
Regardless of how you spend your time in Amalfi, be sure to browse the local artisan workshops lining the streets in the town center and stop to taste one of the local delicacies in the pastry shops (delizia al limone is a local favorite! or pasticciotto all'amarena ).
.

DINING ON THE AMALFI COAST
i suggest you reserve a table in advance for lunch in Positano ( MY FAV) or Amalfi, especially during the weekend. Local specialties that you should search out are fish and seafood dishes (be sure to try the "colatura di alici di Cetara"!), many of which are traditional favorites updated with a fusion or gourmet twist. Those who don't enjoy fish will easily find salads, ravioli and gnocchi, and vegetarian options.
.
For a fast and inexpensive meal, there are a number of street food options in the center of Amalfi, including “cuoppi”, or paper cones of fried fish and seafood, and "pizza a portafoglio”, or fresh pizza folded to eat on the go.
.
- SECOND STOP POSITANO
After pausing to refuel over lunch, it's time to explore Positano, a magical fishing village set on the coastal cliffs famed for its steep, narrow lanes and lush, colorful flowers and lemon trees.
.
Be sure to stop by the local Church of Santa Maria Assunta (its colorful tiled dome can be seen from anywhere in town) and the archaeological remains of the Villa Romana di Positano, known as the “Pompeii of the Amalfi Coast”.
.
- WHAT TO DO IN POSITANO (shopping + spiaggia grande)
Shopping in Positano
A stop in Positano must include at least a bit of time to browse the artisan shops and unique boutiques that crowd the town center. Among the most popular local crafts, you'll find handmade leather sandals, ceramics from nearby Vietri sul Mare, and the famed pezze di Positano, or traditional resort wear known for its comfort and easy elegance.
.
If you have a bit of time at the end of your day, take a break on Positano's Spiaggia Grande beach right in the center of town. Rent a lounger to sunbathe or swim and sip a cool cocktail before heading back to your hotel.
