Positano is a small town located in the heart of the Amalfi Coast, in southern Italy. It is not a place to be missed for a lot of reasons. First of all, the panorama! There are not many places like this in the world, the houses perched on the mountain seem to fall directly into the sea and the night there is an amazing sight, with all those lights that illuminate the village, it looks like a nativity scene!
But Positano is not only the Panorama, the food is also one of the amazing experiences that you can experience in this area. But, if you really want to enjoy uncontaminated nature of these places, you have to try one of the local nature walks. Get ready to feel submerged by the surrounding lush vegetation and enjoy typical restaurants situated right on the local mountains, which will surely make your trip an unforgettable experience.
Starting from Mt. Faito (easily reachable from Positano) there are many naturalistic itineraries, each with a different duration and degree of difficulty. Along the different paths you&rsquoll meet various types of birds, such as the kestrel and buzzards, but also be sure to check out observe the typical local plants, such as the Neapolitan Santolina. There have been many opinions about Mount Faito, they say it was a shelter for saints, while the general opinion was that spirits and witches gathered here during the night. For those who still have some energy left, there are many other places to visit.
Punta Campanella, classified as a natural reserve, has some of the most beautiful Mediterranean flora, like rosemary, juniper, myrtle and wild olive trees. For the most reckless ones out there, we suggest you visit the enchanting Bay of Ieranto, a natural park founded in 1982 in an area stretching from Punta Campanella to the Marina of Cantone. This is one of the most evocative places of the Sorrentine and Amalfi Coast also with protected sea species in the waters.

After all this traveling, you will have to enjoy a lovely Amalfi Coast Private day tour, with a private car with driver.
