Positano
Cliffside Italian resort
Positano is a village on Italy's Amalfi Coast, built into steep cliffs descending to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Its pastel-colored houses, narrow streets, and Mediterranean setting have made it a byword for picturesque Italian coastal beauty: We spent a week in Positano.
The name evokes luxury tourism and la dolce vita.
