• Le torri (The towers). Built to defend the village from the continuous raids of the Saracens and Turkish pirates. Located at Fornillo, la Trasita and la Sponda, some of them can be seen even inland around the village.
• Le ville (The villas). Dating back to Roman times, here lived the nobles who came to relax. You can find them along the coast and inland, following the classical terraced shape of the territory. The most famous is the one found in the Baia di Positano. Today there are only a few remains of it because it is covered in digging materials and from the building of the Chiesa dell’Assunta.
• Le grotte preistoriche. The prehistoric grottos date back to different historical periods. They are scattered all along the coast and present evidence of human life in those areas from long ago.
• L’arcipelago de “Li Galli” (Archipelago of Li Galli). Three miles off Positano, it is a group of 3 small isles named 'il Gallo Lungo', 'la Rotondo,' and 'il Castelluccio.' According to the legend the mythical sirens lived there and tried to enchant Ulysses with their hypnotic song. On the biggest of the three stands a Roman Villa, which belonged to the Russian dancer and set designer Rudolph Nureyev. Below the surface, in the depths of the sea, there are numerous pieces of wreckage, which have increased and contributed to the myth of the sirens.
• Shops. The elegant boutiques in the centre represent the typical fashion from Positano which is exported everywhere in the world.
• Bay of Salerno - Those looking for a scenic drive should take a trip along the Amalfi Drive and pay a visit to the Bay of Salerno. Along the way you will find some gorgeous limestone cliffs and the steep, winding roads afford some truly awesome panoramic views. Be sure to drive carefully, watch out for sharp bends and note that local buses always have the right of way.
