Gems of the Mediterranean Sea - Positano

I am a big fan of Italy, I love their food, wine, history, music, arts, architecture and most of all their entire hedonistic lifestyle, "La Dolce Vita". This is a really wonderful country with all sorts of landscapes from high, rocky mountains to breath-taking beaches and seasides. I love walking on the ancient, cobble-stoned streets and watch locals sipping their coffee and discussing matters of life. I love the adorable markets and the tiny little shops as well as the checkered-clothed tables on the streets in front of restaurants...

Back in 2008, I had a chance to visit the islands and coastline in the Gulf of Salerno during an amazing trip with a small sailing boat. It was really great, one of the best excursions of my life. You have a totally different view of these little towns and villages if you look at them from the sea. It is really amazing how high they have built houses up on the rocks. Though it was a long time ago, I can still vividly remember the picturesque towns, the wonderful view of the horizon, the squeaking sound of the seagulls, the incomparable smell of salty water and the gorgeous taste of Italian red wine. I would like to share these memories with you in this series of posts. (Sorry, blame it on the winter that I became nostalgic and started to watch holiday photos today... 😊😊😊)

I have found this map here, it shows basically all the places I have visited and going to talk about in this series:

I already wrote three posts about Amalfi (you can read them here, here and here) but now it is time to move on and visit the next beautiful town, Positano.

This was a place that we couldn't visit from the shore, we just sailed close and made a few photos. But even from the water, it looked really impressive. This is how we first got to see it:

Going closer it was very similar to Amalfi: the nice colourful houses run high up the hill.

I especially liked the colourful little bodegas at the beach:

We continued our trip towards Capri, so stay tuned, next I will be showing you photos of that! 😊😊😊
