Transfert en voiture privée de Salerno à Positano

Positano might not have beautiful Norman cathedrals with semi-Moorish architecture or restored medieval gardens, but it wholeheartedly embodies the Italian 'la dolce vita.' With its picturesque landscapes, spectacular beaches, and dreamy attractions, Positano is a beach town worthy of belonging to Italy's famed and iconic Amalfi Coast.

However, getting from Salerno to Positano isn't the easiest endeavor, considering there is only one main road in and out of the town, and this road is often hectic and challenging to navigate. That's where we come in. Daytrip lets you sit back and relax while our professional driver expertly navigates the road into Positano. You just enjoy the sights along the way while we focus on getting you where you need to be safely. So, get ready to buckle in, as it will be an enjoyable and unforgettable ride.

Its steeply stacked homes defy gravity, the terracotta cliffside cascades into turquoise waters, and the kaleidoscope of colors fills the horizon. But all this beauty comes at a cost—although one worth paying—you need to wander, climb, and descend hundreds of steps to get around town. Yet, even with all the walking, it's still clear to see why Positano is the jewel of Italy and the perfect example of Mediterranean beauty.

Its natural beauty is just as exemplary as its historic past. According to historical accounts, Positano belonged to the Republic of Amalfi from the 9th to 11th centuries, and it peaked in the 10th century, even rivaling Venice as one of the most important mercantile cities. With its importance, it's unsurprising that Positano played a role in writing the world's first maritime laws. But sadly, as is the norm with great cities, it entered a period of decline and faced economic ruin for centuries until as recently as the 1950s.

When the 1950s rolled around, Positano began to captivate and entice people from all over the world. With the resurgence of interest in this Italian town, it once more grew and became the city it is today. Nowadays, it is no longer simply a fishing village but a pedestrian town with fashionable resorts, enticing restaurants featuring delicious local cuisine, eye-grabbing attractions, and so much natural beauty it's hard to gaze upon it all the time without planning a life here or at the very least a return visit.

Visit the beaches

It would be silly to travel to Positano and not visit a few of the most spectacular beaches in the world. Since this is a coastal town, you're almost spoilt for choice. But we recommend visiting either Spiaggia Grande, which is close to the ferry port, or Fornillo Spiaggia, a smaller, almost hidden beach less than a mile from the town's center.

The former is larger, so you can expect more amenities like restaurants, bars, and beach clubs, but the latter is perfect for a quiet and relaxing getaway.

Hike Le Tese

Positano isn't a town known for its hiking spots, but that doesn't mean that none exist. So, if you're planning a visit and want a family-friendly short hike for children or older kids, add hiking Le Tese to your list. This hike isn't too taxing, and the view overlooking Positano from the top makes it worth a bit of sweat and burning calf muscles.

Go shopping in Positano

Positano might not be as large as other Italian cities, but it's well-known for its boutiques and artisanal shops. So, when you visit, pop in at a few of them and see if there are any souvenirs worth buying.

We always recommend buying a few of the stunning ceramics on offer, as they make the perfect memento of your trip. In addition, many also offer ceramic-making classes, so you can make your own souvenir!

Tour the Church of Santa Maria

Positano's most notable landmark is the Church of Santa Maria. No matter when you visit, you can tour this church and enjoy its peaceful ambiance and quiet opulence. It's pretty easy to spot; just look for the golden-tiled domed roof! Best of all, the church is free to tour, so it's definitely worth visiting.

Then there is also winter, which works for budget travelers. The weather is cooler and rainier, and many restaurants, shops, and hotels close during this time. But if you want a quiet time to just enjoy the incomparable atmosphere with as few tourists around as possible, you might enjoy it.

Summer is the peak tourist season in Positano. The weather is hot and sunny, and everything is packed with people staying in the town, daytrippers, and even cruise ship excursions. If you visit in the summer make reservations in advance for everything you can.
