Best Things to Do in Positano with Sal
Positano looks like a dream in every photo — but once you get there, the dream can quickly turn into long lines, overpriced restaurants, and more stairs than your legs signed up for.
That’s why this list skips the clichés and gives you the things that are truly worth your time, whether you’re here for half a day or three.
No fluff. No affiliate links. Just what actually matters when you’re in Positano.
✅ Take a Ferry, Not a Car
Traffic is a nightmare. Parking is worse. Skip the stress and come by ferry — from Sorrento, Amalfi, or Capri. It’s cheap, fast, and the scenario from the water are exactly what you came for.
✅ Rent a Boat or Join a Small Tour
Want to feel like you’re in a 1960s Italian film? Get out on the water. You can rent your own boat right from the beach (with or without a skipper), or join a small group tour. Swim, sip wine, and get views that you can’t see from land.
✅ Hike the Path of the Gods or the Path of Lemon (easyer)
It’s one of the most beautiful walks in Italy — not too hard, but definitely not flat. Start from Bomerano, end in Nocelle, and take in jaw-dropping views the whole way. Bonus: you’ll feel way less guilty about all the pasta later.
Path of Lemon : Start from Maiori to MInori or viceversa
✅ Grab a Beach Lunch at Da Adolfo (If You Can)
It’s not fancy, but it’s legendary. Fresh seafood, chill vibes, and a little red boat that picks you up from Positano. You’ll need to call ahead to book. Don’t expect polished service — this is about the setting and simplicity.
✅Have a Real Beach Day
Positano’s beaches are pebbly, not sandy — so bring sandals. If you’re splurging, book a beach club like Arienzo or La Scogliera. Want something more low-key? Fornillo is a quieter option just a short walk from the center.
✅Take a Cooking Class in the Hills
La Tagliata offers the classic version — family-run, full of laughter, ingredients from the garden, and lots of wine. It’s touristy in the best way, and you leave full and happy.
✅Shop for Leather Sandals
Skip the factory-made souvenirs and stop at a local sandal maker. You can design your own pair and have them made in about 30 minutes. They’ll outlast anything you find back home.
✅Try Real Limoncello
After dinner, you’ll probably be offered a small glass — take it. It’s lemony, boozy, and strong. You can also learn how to make it in a hands-on class, if you’re into that kind of thing.
✅Get on a Vespa (Only If You’re Confident)
The roads around Positano are no joke — narrow, twisty, and packed. If you’re comfortable, it’s an amazing way to explore the coast. If not? Stick to the ferry.
✅Sunset Aperitivo with a View
Positano lights up at golden hour. Grab a spritz at Il Tridente or Franco’s Bar and just watch the sun dip into the sea. You won’t want to move — and you don’t need to.
✅Dance at Music on the Rocks
Yes, it’s a club in a cave. And yes, it’s touristy. But if you’re in the mood for dancing till 2 a.m. on the Amalfi Coast, this is the place. Go early for a drink on the terrace at sunset.
✅Step Inside the Santa Maria Assunta Church
It’s the iconic dome you see in every photo, and the church itself is peaceful, humble, and cool — literally and spiritually. Shoulders and knees covered, please.
✅Day Trip to Amalfi or Ravello
Amalfi is 20 minutes by ferry — go for the cathedral, a quick wander, or a swim. Ravello , "the balcony of the Amalfi Coast" is up in the hills and harder to reach, but the views from Villa Cimbrone are unforgettable.
✅Don’t Miss the Terrace of Infinity
If you make it to Ravello, this spot at Villa Cimbrone lives up to the name. Marble busts, a cliff-edge terrace, and a view that makes you forget you’re standing on solid ground.
✅Capri, If You Time It Right
Capri is gorgeous — but busy. If you want to go, leave early, book a tour if possible, and skip the tourist mobs in Capri Town. Instead, head to the Gardens of Augustus, take the chairlift to Monte Solaro, or just stay on the boat and circle the island.
🟢 Final Tips:
✅ Best time to visit: Late May to early June, or mid-September. July and August are chaotic.
✅ Getting around: Walk , ferry or Private Driver . Buses are packed and the roads are slow.
✅How many days: One day is enough to feel it. Three days is enough to enjoy it.
✅ Book in advance: Especially in summer — boats, beach clubs, dinners. This town fills up fast.
