Going ashore to see Positano

Positano is linked with a network of steep streets and steeps which rise up and down the town. The hillside is clustered with village houses which have been painted with colourful pinks and peaches. these houses and their pretty colour are something that characterises this part of Italy and makes Positano to be clearly recognisable. 

This rustic and pretty Italian seaside town is more or less divided in two by a large cliff on which stands the Torre Trasita. One the western side of the the Torre Trasita is the Spiaggia del Fornillo beach. This is also the less expensive side of the town. On the eastern side of the cliff is where you will find the Spaggia Grande and the town centre behind. There is not an endless amount of things to see and do in Positano, it is more a place to relax and soak up the ambience. A couple of things that are worthy of viewing, however, include the architecture of the Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta with its 13th century Byzantine Black Madonna and the little cherubs that sit behind the arches.
