Positano

Splendid village perched on the side of a mountain, a holiday resort since the time of the Roman Empire, as attested by the discovery of an imperial-era villa under the church of Santa Maria Assunta. The very long stairways that from the top of the town reach down to the beach and the marina are very scenic. Positano beachwear takes its name from this characteristic village, an icon of Italian summer sweet life and beyond since the 1960s.
