Upper Positano

Upper Positano might not have many top sights, but Positano Town Hall and Fornillo Beach are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Upper Positano
The gorgeous town of Positano on the Amalfi coast just as the sun was setting. Positano is not somewhere to go if you are afraid of a lot of walking up and down steep stairs!

Montepertuso

Montepertuso is well-liked for its gardens. You can also take some time to explore sights in the surrounding area like Piazza dei Mulini and Palazzo Murat.

Fornillo
Laid back beach club and restaurant accessible by water taxi from positano.  Nice swimming for kids.  One of the best lunches I've ever had: mussel soup, homemade spaghetti with pesto, marinated anchovies.  And don't forget the chilled peach  wine!  Come for a great day.

We went in January and while I was aware it was the off season and a lot of businesses would be closed, I was still amazed that Only 3 restaurants were open. It was super easy and cheap to take the $2.00 SITA bus To sorrento for more options though
