Free time in Positano.
Positano is the most iconic "vertical" village of the Amalfi Coast, famous for its pastel-colored houses that seem to tumble down the steep cliffs toward the sea. Once a prosperous Maritime Republic and later a quiet fishing village, it was rediscovered in the 20th century by artists and writers, transforming into a world-class destination for "Moda Positano" and Mediterranean glamour. The town is a labyrinth of steep stairways and narrow alleys lined with bougainvillea, all leading down to the Spiaggia Grande and the stunning majolica-tiled dome of the Church of Santa Maria Assunta.

Free time in Amalfi.
Amalfi is the historic heart of the coastline that bears its name, famously serving as one of Italy’s four powerful Maritime Republics. The town is dominated by the magnificent Duomo di Sant'Andrea, which features a dramatic staircase and a striking Arab-Norman facade overlooking the bustling main piazza. Beyond its grand history, Amalfi is celebrated for its traditional handmade paper production (Bambagina) and its lush lemon groves that produce the region's famous Sfusato Amalfitano. Its labyrinth of narrow "supportici" (covered alleys) and whitewashed houses creates a unique urban landscape that perfectly blends medieval heritage with Mediterranean beauty.
