Sights & Activities

BOAT TOUR: Only having a day in Positano, we knew high up on our list was doing a boat ride. The second we got off the bus we ran down to the water and booked a boat. There’s a booth down on the beach that will tell you what boats are available for your size crowd and being that there were only 5 of us, they could put us on pretty much anyone, it was just an option of whether we wanted a cheaper boat that came with a lot of strangers doing the same thing and normally we wouldn’t mind but we ended up paying a little more and getting a private boat so we could relax more. We put our name in and paid (25 euros a person for an hour but there were only 5 of us in total and the boat was really nice!) We did have to wait a little for the next boat so we grabbed a panini and bottle of champagne to hold us over, although we waited until we were on the boat to pop it. The sun was shining, and that hour was one of the highlights of my whole abroad experience

Food & Drink

VINI E PANINI: Right in center of the town before you hit the beach, this place had one of the best panini’s I ate all abroad. They also had snacks and drinks we could stock up on before making our way down to the water and the service was great. We stopped in a few more times throughout the day to pick up souvenirs like little bottles of limoncello!

LIMONCELLO: Limoncello is an Italian lemon liquor mainly produced in Southern Italy in towns like Positano and you can find it in almost every little souvenir shop in the town. Traditionally, it’s made from the zest of Sorrento lemons that are steeped until the oil comes out which is then mixed with a simple syrup. It’s the second most popular liquor in Italy and is starting to become popular around the world now. It’s very sweet and usually served as an after-dinner shot

*Also you can find more lemon granita’s in Positano as well if that’s what you’re in the mood for!

Shopping

We spent most of our day in Positano on the beach so I don’t have any specific stores to recommend, but I think the best thing to do would be to spend some time walking around the small streets and go into stores that catch your eye. They sell a lot of beautiful summer clothes, jewelry, hats, sunglasses and other beach attire (pretty much anything you might have forgotten at home) at fairly reasonable prices considering they make a majority of their money every year from tourism. They also have ice cream in a few stores which as great as gelato was, a real ice cream sandwich was just what we needed that day
