Positano

Positano is a village on the Amalfi coast, for the first half of the 20th century it was a poor fishing village but after John Steinbeck published an essay about it in 1953 it was discovered by tourists.

Today it has reinvented itself for tourists. It is very pretty but it is lacks a bit of authenticity.

I arrived by bus which has some spectacular views. I hopped off at the top and walked down.




There was a band playing





Rather than walk back I got the boat back to Amalfi.

A great set of images from the visit Pete. Very Italian just like a holiday brochure.
