Positano, like the legendary Sirens of Li Galli, never fails to seduce

Seen from the sea, Positano is set in an impressive vertical panorama of colors: the green of the Monti Lattari; the white, pink, and yellow of the Mediterranean houses; the silvery grey of its pebble beaches; and the blue of the sea.The ancient Romans built a number of sumptuous villas on the coast of Positano, the ruins of which can be seen in the vicinity of the Church dell\'Assunta.It is believed that the town was founded in the 9th century around a Benedictine abbey.The town grew considerably following the arrival of inhabitants from Paestum, who were fleeing Saracen incursions. After it was pillaged by Pisa in 1268, Positano increased its defenses, becoming similar to its powerful neighbor, Amalfi, with steep narrow roads, massive fortified walls, and a series of all-important watch towers.The majolica-tiled dome of the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta can be seen from every corner of the town. A Byzantine-inspired icon of a Black Madonna dating back to the 18th century is conserved inside the church. 

The beaches of Positano

Spiaggia Grande is the heart of Positano\'s waterfront. Spanning 300 meters, this beach is one of the largest on the Amalfi Coast, as well as one of the most glamorous, attracting a fashionable crowd of artists, actors, and celebrities. Those looking for a more peaceful spot in which to bask in the Mediterranean sun will love Positano\'s Fornillo beach, which can be reached via a footpath that sets off from Spiaggia Grande.Li Galli, the island of SirensLegend has it that the three islets of Li Galli, set just off the shores of Positano and often referred to as the \"Sirenuse,\" were inhabited by Sirens who attempted to seduce with their song all those who sailed nearby.Perhaps the most famous of those to have been enchanted by the islets\' mysterious beauty is the ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev, who spent the last years of his life here.
