Answer 2

positano is a section of naples.

very beautiful place.

lot's to do, and as i said is very close to naples (i did walk there, but there buses of course).

if it is you and another girl be carefull. Naples is not the safest place in Italy especially when u r not Italian.

Answer 3

Don't worry, it's beautiful there!

i've been living for a year in Naples. Positano is very close to it.

The Amalfi coast, Sorrento, Capri, Ischia... it's Wonderful!

i'd like to go back there... but i'll come to Australia in July and August! =)

Answer 4

Yes Positano is fab!

About the beach:

The Amalfi coast in general is terrible for beaches! There are little pieces here and there, often stony. If it's remotely decent it will have been privatised and you'll have to pay a few euro each just to get on the beach, more if you want a lounger & umbrella.

The sea is beautiful so the best thing to do is get a little outside the town (walking or by bus) and find your own spot on the cliffs / rocks.

There's plenty of shops and bars, although of course Italian nightlife begins at the restaurant.

With regard to shops, make sure you check out Calzedonia for great bikinis! (chain store for sock and bikinis all over Italy)

Answer 5

yes! ive been there and it is amazing.. (watch the movie under the tuscan sun) i only went there for a day so I'm not sure about there night life but Its really small and I dont think they have one.  There are boats that take you to amalfi coast maybe they have something there.. Just dont go to Naples.. it dirty and full of pick pockets!

I've been there last summer (Positano - Amalfi cost - Capri) and the place is a Paradise!

Nightlife is ok, if you want to do shopping I suggest to go to Capri (near Positano). There are a lot of fashion shops (D&G, Prada, Armani, Gucci, Versace, Dior...) and others.

Answer 7

I was there in Nov. and it was my favorite place on the Amalfi Coast.  I stayed in Sorrento and traveled there by bus.  It's a pretty hairy ride -- breathtaking hairpin turns.  The town itself is great for walking.  Lots of little shops, some not too touristy.  There's a beautiful church and an excellent meal can be found with a view of the beach.  It was part of a 3-week trip that included Tuscany and Venice.

Answer 8
