What to say about Positano in 2022? Here's what a famous author said many years ago.
"Positano bites deep. It is a dream place that isn’t quite real when you are there and becomes beckoningly real after you have gone." John Steinbeck
I would say these days that Positano can still be great. The views are amazing, the hoards of tourists maybe not so much. Okay, I haven't met each one individually but you get what I mean.
When my lovely travel companions and I visited there we made the mistake of using a crowded Sita bus both ways to travel from Sorrento. We didn't learn on the way there for some reason. ;) Ferry or hiring a driver might be a better option for you just FYI.
Our goal was to relax and enjoy the beach. We did just that! Where might you ask? It was at Arienzo Beach Club. So, it's a bit of a "we're going to treat ourselves" today type of deal but fun and relaxing. We bought the Arienzo basic package "€65 per person we offer you: • Beach access: one sunlounger, one towel and one umbrella (per every two sunloungers), wifi, music, beach service, use of changing room, shower and toilet; • A bottle of mineral water; • Beach Lunch: an appetizer, a main course from the a la carte menu, as well a glass of wine and a coffee; • Complimentary shuttle boat service; • This package has a value of €82 discounted by 20%"
It made Positano feel a bit like Steinbeck's quote. Okay, sure there's ways to get away from the crowds and do that for less but it was fun for something different. Arienzo Beach Club had a good lunch, was relaxing and fun, and felt like a great way to enjoy a day in Positano. We eat, swam, drank straight espresso, listened to the DJ, and just relaxed on the loungers...
