Positano on the Amalfi Coast

Positano is the most impressive town on the Amalfi Coast. At first look it seems to be lounged on the mountain that overlooks the sea, therefore this city is one of the most photographed of the coast. The sea colour is crystalline and its beaches are crowded of tourists every summer. Among the several beaches of this city it must be mentioned: Marina Grande and Fornillo. But the sea, the sun, the beaches and the exceptional landscape aren’t the only reasons to go to Positano (even if for someone it could be enough…). The church of Santa Maria Teresa of the Assumption, for example, deserves a visit for its tiled dome, the Saracen towers, the little villages of Nocelle and Montepertuso which are places of an extraordinary beauty.
Positano is also known for its shops. Above all its characteristic production: the leather sandals. Indeed you can go in these little workshops (that can be found in the town alleys) and order sandals made-to-measure. But there are a lot of other characteristic shops too.
As in many places in Italy the gastronomy is important too, in Positano you can taste: Delizie al limone (soft pastry with a delicious lemon flavoured cream), the torta positanese (cake with almonds) and seafood (according to the maritime vocation of the town the seafood is very good almost everywhere).
