Positano, situated in Campania on Italy's Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), is a small and nearly vertical town. While prosperous many centuries ago, it now lives on as a unique tourist destination, favored by Americans and Europeans, celebrities, and day-trippers who take the ferry from Naples..A highway, Strada Statale Amalfitana, also known as Via Guglielmo Marconi, separates the town into two parts, while a one-way loop called Viale Pasitea serves the lower part (sub Positano). Any other "via" or "viale" really is a walkway, narrow, mostly with steps. Many steps...In a town so small, it's hard to conceal the rough parts, infrastructure, construction, mundane things like parking and garbage collection. Rather than detract, these things seem to add to its charm.View of Positano from Montepertuso.
