Positano

Positano is one of those renowned vacation spots of the well-off and famous, albeit it’s now been penetrated and normal common people can also enjoy it. Positano goes up the hill away from the water, meaning that most buildings that aren’t right at water level have awesome sights – and also that it’s quite a hike to get just about anywhere in town. Of course, counting the most physical movement most people do all day during a journey to Positano is walk to and from the beach, a little hike uphill probably isn’t such a bad thing.
