Positano has lived many lives - as part of Amalfi’s maritime republic during the Middle Ages, a major trade route during the Renaissance, a forgotten fishing village, and finally, an idyllic beach town experiencing a modern-day renaissance. John Steinbeck, who lived here in 1953, wrote, “It is a dream place that isn't quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone.” Then again, you might never want to leave.
Travel at Your Leisure will be visiting Positano as part of our Amazing Amalfi tour in September. We still have a couple of places left, so why not join us?
