Pure Italy: Positano
If you're bored of shopping, eating and relaxing, Positano has several churches of interest, most notably the Duomo by the beach, with its green and gold dome. The white-and-gold interior is airy and attractive and merits a visit, and the tiny piazza outside, where boys kick footballs around, is pure Italian.
For a pleasant excursion, take the bus up to Montepertuso, where you can admire the hole in the mountain. Montepertuso is a sleepy village, lost in olive groves, which has a bar and a couple of restaurants. There are some good walks in the area, and many walking groups pass through Montepertuso, stopping for refreshments in the small piazza. The church has a spectacular setting, above the tiny houses of Positano, with the beautiful Galli Islands as a backdrop. To the right of the church is a path that will take you all the way back down to Positano.
