Why I'll NEVER go back to Positano (and I don't recommend you do either)
Amalfi and Positano are two of the most beautiful towns on the Amalfi Coast, dreaming of seeing thousands of tourists in 2026. In this episode, I'm heading to southern Italy to find out if this place is truly as magical as the photos suggest, or if the pretty picture is just a tourist trap. We'll spend a day each in Amalfi and Positano, arriving by boat from Salerno, exploring the main sights, streets, beaches, cathedrals, and viewpoints. This won't be a dry overview of landmarks, but a leisurely stroll along Italy's most cinematic coastline.
In Positano, I'll show you a cliffside town with pastel-colored houses, narrow staircases, lemon stalls, expensive beaches, and views that draw travelers from all over the world. We'll explore the cost of a vacation in Positano, why a sun lounger with an umbrella can be an unpleasant surprise, and where to find the best angles. Then we'll head to Amalfi—a former maritime republic with a majestic cathedral, old town, lemon sorbet, seafood, and a completely different atmosphere.
If you're planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast and deciding between Amalfi, Positano, Salerno, or Naples, this video will help you plan your itinerary. I'll tell you where it's best to stay, how to get to the coast by boat, how much to budget for transportation, food, and beaches, and what to see in two days. Finally, I'll compare Amalfi and Positano and honestly tell you which city I liked best!
