Fly into the airport in Naples, and from there it’s an easy two-bus, two-hour journey to Positano. You can also catch a ferry in the summer or, you know, stop by on your yacht cruise along the Mediterranean.

Located in Italy’s idyllic Amalfi Coast, Positano is a cliffside town built of stacked pastel-coloured buildings framing a pebble stone beach. In the warmer months, you will find round umbrellas dotting the beach and boats scattered throughout the turquoise Mediterranean Sea.
