Positano
Positano is a little Moorish-style village, discovered by American and British troops at the end of World War II. Opening onto the Tyrrhenian Sea, this small town first attracted artists including the famous writer John Steinbeck. Steinbeck called Positano ‘a dream place’. Positano's narrow winding streets are lined with tiny cafés, terraces, and artisan shops selling ceramics, Limoncello, antiques and the distinctive Positano- style handmade clothes. Walk the cobblestone footpath, the little street that leads down to the beach, it is lined with local artists selling their crafts. Visit the parish church of Santa Maria Assunta in Piazza Flavio Gioia, a Romanesque structure that was completely rebuilt in 1700. The locals of Positano celebrate the feast day of the church every August 15th, as they carry the statue of Maria Assunta along the beach throwing rose petals as hse passes by, and accompanied by a parade of musicians. A spectacular fireworks display follows under the stars, with boats arriving in hundreds to watch and celebrate from the sea. Stroll the beach and visit Pasquale Volpe, the famous artist who paints in pastel watercolors, or the famous L’Incanto Ristorante dotted with straight lines of orange beach chairs and umbrellas or hop on a boat to Li Galli Islands for a spin in the sea. Spring, summer and fall months are most colorful in this seaside town, however the off-season months still have a moody quiet charm all of their own.
