Positano Tours

Positano Gallery

Positano from the water and from the cliffs, the coast towards Amalfi, Capri's rocks and grottoes, and Pompeii under Vesuvius. Every photograph comes from the operators who run the day tours from Positano in these listings.

Most of what makes a day here is invisible from the road. From the sea the town reads as one steep block of colour above a grey beach, with the tiled dome at its foot. East of it, the cliffs drop straight into deep water, cut by the gorge at Furore and the coves boats stop in.

At the foot of the town, the majolica dome of Santa Maria Assunta rises above Spiaggia Grande and the pier. Across the water, Capri's Faraglioni and the Blue Grotto are where the island days go.

Captions say what is in the frame and stop. Positano is named only where the dome, the beach or the stacked houses make it unmistakable; a coast town seen from the water is called a coast town unless it could only be one place.

The listings' own photo shelves also carry Rome, Florence and a helicopter. None of those is part of a Positano day, and none appears below.
