Positano is one of thirteen municipalities that are located on the Amalfi Coast, many of them centered around tourism. The main part of Positano sits in an enclave in the hills leading down to the coast.
The Amalfi Coast is known for its production of limoncello liqueur as the area is a known cultivator of lemons (known as sfusato amalfitano in Italian), which are grown in terraced gardens along the entire coast between February and October.
