Or perhaps a day at the beach, relaxing on a beach chair while beach boys bring you food and drink is the way you want to start your days in Positano. A tip for beach-goers: chairs, umbrellas, and facilities are privately owned and a small fee is charged for using them. If nothing during the day catches your attention, you could also indulge in the thriving nightlife along the coast.

For those looking to go a bit further, there are also ferries that go along the Amalfi Coast and to Capri, which makes for a stunning day trip.
Positano is also known for its lemon...well, everything! Candy, perfume, bath products, liquor, you name it, and Positano very likely has a lemon version of it.
