Things To Do
Church of Santa Maria Assunta
It’s the main landmark reference for finding where you are and where to go
Ravello
Go to the charming small hamlet of Ravello above Amalfi. You can take the bus up the hill from Amalfi. In Ravello, be sure and visit Villa Cimbrone. There is a five star hotel here, but the beautiful gardens, preserved ruins and the view from the Terrace of Infinity are all open to the public. Stop at the little sandwich place on a side street in Ravello and pick up a picnic lunch. You can sit and enjoy it on the grounds of the Villa for a spectacular afternoon. Make sure you’ve arranged for your trip back to Positano beforehand. Or do the Ravello-Atrani Walk — 1,500 steps down from the town of Ravello to Atrani below. It’s a day trip in itself!
Sorrento
The ferry boat docks in Sorrento at the Marina Piccola. From there, it’s a short walk up the hill (take the stairs or the lift which costs €1). Check out the main square in town, Piazza Tasso. It’s not a big piazza, but it’s lined with restaurants, shops, and small cafes, and is a great starting point to head into the historic center of Sorrento. Here you’ll find small open markets selling produce, meat and fish, souvenir shops, enotecas, and limoncello shops. There are coffee and pastry shops galore, restaurants, and a number of sites to see in the historic center. Remember, Sorrento is a fairly large city so you need to plan what you want to do and see up to your ferry departure time back to Positano.
Capri
Known for its beauty, history, and incredible restaurants, it’s an easy day trip from Sorrento or Positano. The ferry from Positano operates regularly from April to October and takes about 30 minutes although operations are usually suspended during rough sea conditions. Once there, you can stroll the narrow streets and cobbled lanes in the town at the top of the island, relax with a glass of wine and people watch, hike to Villa Jovis — home to two of Italy’s famed Emperors Tiberius and Caligula, take an organized tour, catch a tour boat to the Blue Grotto, or shop til you drop
