Meet the guide on the upper side of the village, leave the tourists and the hustlers for a well-deserved break, follow the locals who hike 20 minutes from the touristy main beach, pass by a 13th-century fort from pirate days, to enjoy the less popular Fornillo Beach. From there you’ll be taken “Downtown Positano” with its fine shops and restaurants down to another delightful beach. Start to walk uphill where you’ll find lots of ceramic shops on this street, sandal and shoe makers, along with galleries featuring the work of local artists. You will approach the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, originally the abbey of Positano’s 10th-century Benedictine monastery. Across the lane, Hotel Palazzo Murat fills what was once a grand Benedictine monastery. The tour will end at the best pastry shop of the town, where we will taste delicacies such as the Lemon Delice, Tiramisù or the Rhum Baba.
