Walking
Start from the main beach area in Positano, known as Spiaggia Grande. From the beach, head up Via del Brigantino, which is the street that runs alongside the beach. Continue straight until you reach the intersection with Via Pasitea. Turn left onto Via Pasitea and walk uphill for about 10 minutes. You’ll pass several shops and restaurants along the way. Keep an eye out for the signs pointing towards the 'Sentiero degli Dei' (Path of the Gods) and the 'Vista Panoramica' (Panoramic View). After approximately 10 minutes of walking, you will come to a viewpoint that offers a spectacular view of the coastline and the village of Positano. To get to the stairway leading down to the beach, look for the signs directing you towards 'Scalinata' or 'Stairway to Beach'.
Walking
If you are starting from the center of Positano, head towards the Church of Santa Maria Assunta, which is a prominent landmark. From the church, take the stairs located next to it down to the beach. Follow the path downwards until you reach the beach area. Once you are at Spiaggia Grande, follow the beach promenade towards the left (facing the sea). You will see a staircase leading up to the viewpoint. Ascend the staircase, and at the top, you will find the 'Spectacular View' where you can take stunning photos of Positano.
