What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Stop 1

   20min

   We will start from the beating heart of the town, lived by the locals, a meeting point for groceries, shopping or to have a coffee at the International Bar. From there it will be possible to look at the bay from above and begin to appreciate the verticality of the country as well as the local culture.

2. 2

   Grotta di Fornillo

   30min

   Getting lost through the typical shortcuts of the "vertical city", we will grasp Positano from different points of view. We will admire the less famous "second", but no less beautiful, pyramid of houses in the Fornillo district, visiting the natural cave where a fantastic nativity scene is set in the rock. We will stop in a typical Positano house (my mother's) to enjoy a Neapolitan coffee made with a mocha, a homemade limoncello and for the little ones, a lemonade of local lemons.

3. 3

   Spiaggia di Positano Marina Grande

   1h

   A final stairway will lead us down to the Marina Grande, the main beach. Once here we will get lost in the scent of the fish, the colors of fashion and ceramics and the sparkling gems of the sandals of local artisans. We will pass through the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, admiring the bas-relief, one of the symbols of the city that has its roots in Greek mythology.

4. 4

   Stop 4

   30min

   Finally we will go up towards the center, Piazza dei Mulini, walking along the so-called artists' street, skirting the palace which was the summer residence of the Viceroy of Naples, as well as Napoleon's brother-in-law, Gioacchino Murat. For fashion enthusiasts it will be possible to visit a local artisan workshop of "Moda Mare Positano" clothes. We will end our visit enjoying a fresh lemon granita that recalls three past generations.
