The terraced town seen from the sea and the stop in front of the Spiaggia Grande.
- Where we stop
- At anchor off the Spiaggia Grande, a little offshore: near the shore the water is shallow and there are few buoys. From there you see the whole town.
- When to go
- Late afternoon. The town faces south-west: towards seven in the evening the sun lights up the façades.
The places around Positano that are best seen from the boat.
Positano’s main church, above the Spiaggia Grande. The dome is covered in green, blue and yellow majolica tiles; the bell tower beside it dates from 1707.
- From the sea
- From the water, the dome is the first part of the town you recognise.
Positano’s second beach, behind the spur where the Trasita tower stands. From land it can be reached only on foot, along the path that runs below the tower.
- From the sea
- From the water it appears before the town, enclosed between two rocky spurs.
Three private islets in the channel between Positano and Punta Campanella. On the largest, Gallo Lungo, stand a medieval tower and a low villa; the other two are bare rocks.
- From the sea
- Up close you can make out the tower and the villa on Gallo Lungo.
- Good to know
- The islands are private: there is no landing.
