It was some version of this image that made me choose my trip to the Amalfi Coast. It’s the town of Positano, sitting on a cliff-side. I saw it while browsing holiday sites and decided that this was where I wanted to go. I’ve done this before, i.e. choosing a holiday from a magazine picture, which is how I went on the Trans-Siberian Railway and to Cappadocia in Turkey.
Positano is very picturesque. On the holiday, I had the luxury of approaching it from the sea – by ferry – and from the mountain tops at the end of the Path of the Gods trek. Hence, I have my own multiple versions of this picture, from a great many angles. And besides, descending into Positano after the walk, was thoroughly refreshing, especially as the old knees had had a good workout. A cold beer on the seafront was my first destination.

Looks heavenly. I just revisited Italy in a recent blog post as well – it really is a dreamy coastline the whole way up and down! Now I might have to go back …
Until this trip, I hadn’t been to Italy in donkeys years … !
I’m heading there soon, Path of the Gods trek sounds interesting, where does it start?
It starts just outside Agerola. It is really worth doing. The views are really amazing. The walk is well documented so you can find information easily on the Internet.
Thanks! I’ll look that up.
Let me know what you think!
Just beautiful!! If you live at the top, you’ve better be in good shape!!Explains why they live longer and are so healthy! 🙂
Good point. Although all the going up & down is a bit tough on the old knees!
Enticingly scenic – and from both vantages.
Absolutely!
looks like a very lucky choice and I like the view over the artist’s shoulder which is not exactly what he is looking at
Yes I thought that too. I wonder if he was making it up from memory!
It is indeed a beautiful town…(Suzanne)
It has the most amazing location!
I saw Positano in a film for the first time and knew it was going to be one of the destinations of my honeymoon. I ended up prefering Ravello over Positano, but it certainly is beautiful!
I agree. Ravello is more peaceful and more fresh on the cliff top. But it’s wonderful that Positano inspired you to go there and discover the area.
