Only A Bag - An Italy Travel Podcast

Amalfi Coast: Positano—The Ferry, The Food, The Beaches


Listen Later

In this episode we'll tell you all you need to know for visiting Positano. Is it really that expensive? Can you visit Positano on a budget? What is the best way to get there? What's the beach like? And more?

From living in Italy and hearing what other people thought of Positano, we had specific expectations, but it wasn't exactly what we thought it would be. You'll have to listen to find out!

In this episode we mention a few helpful links. Here are links Only a Bag's articles on Positano and the Amalfi Coast:

The ferry that we took from Salerno to Positano was with ⁠Travelmar⁠. We highly recommend it! However, there are several different ferry companies, you can check them out on ⁠Omio⁠* which acts as a ferry aggregate.


In the episode, we mention that there is an easier walk up to the top of town and a harder one. The easier way to walk to church of Santa Maria Assunta, then walk along via dew Mulini, and take via Cristoforo Colombo up to the top of town. The harder way (which is okay for coming down, but difficult to walk up) is a walking path between Viale Pasitea/Via degli Oleandri above and Via del Saracino below.
