Positano is an old fishing and trading village and today the port for touristic cruises to Capri and along the Amalfi coast.
It has white houses with vaulted roofs and is laid out on terraces amongst gardens, palms and citrus groves on the slopes of Mount Sant’Angelo a Tre Pizzi and Mount Comune.
It was founded by the people of Paestum, who lived through the Saracen invasion, and was later a rival of Amalfi.
It is recommended to take a walk from Piazza dei Mulini to the small Piazza Flavio Gioia, visit the Church of Santa Maria Assunta with it's majolica covered cupola and proceed to the small sandy beach area in front of the cliffs.
