You Ask & I Answer

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is it possible to hike the Path of the Gods in one day?

    Yes, if you're up for a bit of adventure, you can hike a section of the Path of the Gods in the morning and still have time to explore the town in the afternoon.

  • What is the best way to get around Positano during a one-day visit?

    Positano is a very walkable town, but you may want to take the local bus or a taxi if you're traveling between the lower town and higher points.

  • Can I visit Positano’s famous beaches in one day?

    Absolutely! Spend a few hours at Spiaggia Grande or Fornillo Beach to soak up the sun and the beautiful coastal views.

  • Where can I find the best views of Positano in a short visit?

    One of the best viewpoints is from the Chiesa Nuova bus stop or higher up along the streets near Villa Magia. You can also take a boat tour for incredible coastal views.

  • What’s the best time of day to visit Positano to avoid crowds?

    Arriving early in the morning or later in the afternoon will help you avoid the busiest times, especially in peak tourist season.

  • Can I combine visiting nearby towns like Amalfi or Ravello on the same day as Positano?

    It’s possible, but you’ll need to plan carefully. If you’re short on time, you may want to stick with exploring Positano to make the most of your visit. I would personally say that even though you can do it you would be better suited choosing one and actually spending the day seeing as much as possible. Positano especially has so much to see that after a couple hours you likely wouldn't feel ready to leave yet!
