About Positano

Imagine walking down narrow streets lined with quaint cafes and boutiques. And stepping onto a beachfront laden with pebbles to witness a panoramic view of the ocean shimmering with the rays of the setting sun. This slice of heaven is actually a pretty village called Positano on the Amalfi Coast. It is no wonder that locals and tourists alike flock to this amazing destination. What set’s this village apart from its contemporaries is that it is vertical and situated on a cliffside. Instead of roads, visitors can explore the village by climbing along with steep steps! From almost any corner of the village, one can see the jaw-dropping beauty of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta. The majolica-tiled dome of this church stands tall and proud. Inside the church is the most beautiful and famous icon of the Virgin Mary in Byzantine architectural style. There is a very interesting legend about how the church was built in this particular spot in this specific town. Be sure to ask about it on your next visit to the beautiful town of Positano.
