Yes, Positano is a walkable town. Most of the city center consists of winding uphill pathways and staircases, so the best way to get around is indeed on foot. For the same reason, taxis and buses are somewhat limited in Positano, and it’s not recommended to rent a car since parking and driving along the Amalfi Coast are notoriously tricky.

The most popular Positano tours are full-day excursions, such as trips to Pompeii and boat cruises around Capri and the Amalfi Coast. If you join a group on one of these experiences, you can expect to pay US$100–200. Private tours are more expensive, starting at US$600.

Save money on lower-cost Positano tours such as the 1.5-Hour Shared Sunset Cruise from Positano With Drinks and Snacks. For US$75 per person, you’ll explore the Li Galli archipelago with complimentary prosecco and light dining fare, though there will be a dozen other travelers with you on this quick cruise. More expensive tours, including the From Positano/Praiano: Full-Day Capri Private Tour by Boat (from US$2,216), take your private group around Positano and the Amalfi Coast for eight hours of boating and swimming at destinations of your choice.

Many travelers to Positano book boat tours to Capri and along the Amalfi Coast. These tours cruise past beautiful coves and seaside villages and include plenty of time for swimming, snorkeling, and lunch on the water. If you prefer to stay on land, you could hire a driver to show you around the stunning villas of Ravello or the volcanic ruins of Pompeii.

All-day and multi-day tours help you pack in as many attractions and activities in and around Positano as possible. For example, on the Small-Group Amalfi Coast Day Cruise From Positano, you can explore the Emerald Grotto, cruise past the town of Praiano, shop and have lunch in Amalfi or Ravello, and swim and snorkel in secluded coves along the Amalfi Coast.

While one day is enough time to explore the small city of Positano, a three-day trip will allow you to see more of its rich surroundings. Spend the first day strolling Positano’s shop-lined streets, tasting local specialties, and sunbathing on the pebble beach. On days two and three, you can hike the Path of the Gods and take a boat cruise to Capri, Amalfi, or Praiano.

Early May and late September are the best times to visit Positano. The sky will be clear and sunny and the temperatures should hover in the 70s—ideal conditions for sunbathing on the beach and zipping along the Amalfi Coast by boat. Better yet, you’ll miss the peak summer crowds.
