When to go to Positano?
Positano tips down the cliff in pink, ochre and white, joined by stairs rather than streets, so everyone reaches the beach eventually. The majolica dome of Santa Maria Assunta catches the light above the rooftops, and Fornillo, round the headland, is the quieter swim. High overhead, the Sentiero degli Dei traverses the ridge with the sea always below.
