Positano (Italy Travel Journal Pt 2.)

Positano was literally one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and I am not sure these photos will really do it justice! This colorful hillside town along the Amalfi Coast was the second stop on our Italian adventure.  The whole town is basically located cliffside with one winding road going down to the beaches.  Because we were there in late October which has already started their off-season, it was way less crowded on the beaches than if you were to come in mid summer.  And while this meant it was a bit too chilly for us to enjoyably swim here, it was still the perfect mild temperatures to explore in.  I could have happily spent way more than two short nights here!

The first portion of photos are from the smaller beach, where we had delicious sandwiches and beer for lunch before wandering around to collect little pieces of colorful tiles on the rocky beach.  We had to walk down hundreds of stone steps to get up or down anywhere.  We then wandered over to the bigger main beach just in time for a beautiful sunset. The colorful houses all piled on top of eachother reminded me of a pastel layer cake, and every direction you turned was more stunning than the last.  There were also a bunch of cute little shops lining the roads on the way down, including this one that sold darling floaty pastel dresses where I got a scarf and my mom got a dress.  You can see a few more shots on my instagram including this view from higher up, and this cute kitty that visited the apartment we were renting!  Positano, I hope to see you again soon!

  2. Nice photos! I'd probably spend those holidays feasting on Italian food and watching the sunset. Going to Bergamo next month, it's not coastal but hopefully just as pretty xx

  6. Oh this is incredible! I have so enjoyed looking through your Italy photos, Hannah. Looks like an amazing trip, through and through. So cool that you could travel to so many different cities. These photos may be my favorite though. Dying over the colored houses with the clouds above, and the colored tiles.

    ♥ perfectly Priya
