This town has a wonderful location on the Amalfi coast, and is a famous holiday destination.
In about 1000 AD the inhabitants of
Paestum fled here, since its location made it easier to defend from Saracen attack, and it soon became a prominent coastal town. The flow of tourists, which initially only consisted of aristocratic families, has slowly grown.
Today this old fishing village lives almost entirely off the proceeds of tourism and artists from all over the world choose to come here for both short and extended trips because of its beauty and colour.
We recommend you visit Santa Maria Assunta Church and the Roman Villa as well as the famous and elegant fashion atelier -
Moda Positano.
