5Positano

With its pastel-colored houses that climb from the sea to the top of a steep cliff, Positano is one of those places that takes your breath away–literally. Often referred to as the “vertical town,” the only way to get up and down the hillside is by traversing narrow, steep steps.

But all the physical exertion is worth it when you arrive at Le Sirenuse for sunset cocktails on the terrace of the bougainvillea-covered Champagne Bar.
