This was my first Exodus trip and it was very disappointing. For the pros, the hikes were amazing and the hotel was cozy and comfortable. However, for our group of 16, six of us were placed with a private group of 10 friends who were celebrating a birthday and we were treated as tag alongs. One of the six joined another group and the remaining five were basically ostracized from the group. From the first night where our guide did not meet with us, we felt left out. We were seated separately for meals, given very little instructions, had separate what’s app group set up, etc, while we watched the cohesion of the other groups and how well their group leaders led them. Once or twice, another group leader would come by to give us information after noticing that we were left out. It left a very bitter taste and moved a few of us to tears by the end of the trip.
Positano
Positano Trips
Greek legend says Poseidon, god of the sea, created Positano as a gift for Pasitea, a nymph he had fallen in love with. The beauty of this cliffside village on Italy’s Amalfi Coast is certainly worthy of the immortals − travellers have flocked here for centuries to explore the sun-drenched coastlines, picture-perfect streets and wisteria-draped properties.
This small jewel is bound to impress, with pink and peach terracotta houses and steep streets dotted with eateries and some of the most fashionable retailers in the Campania region. But you’ll also find there’s a wealth to discover on the outskirts of town whether on foot or by bike on our Positano holidays.
On our Highlights of the Amalfi Coast trip, you can explore the narrow alleyways and sun-filled piazzas of Amalfi, visiting the large cathedral before hopping on a fast boat to Positano. Taking in the vertical town views and shimmering turquoise coastlines will leave an indelible imprint on your memory, as you dock to explore this chic town for a couple of hours on foot. Find another Positano tour on our Amalfi Coast Family Adventure. Before learning how to whip up the perfect neapolitan pizza in Amalfi, enjoy exploring Positano, visiting the Byzantine Church of Saint Mary of the Assumption, or taking a refreshing dip on one of the world’s most iconic beaches, the Spiaggia Grande, before returning to Bomerano.
If you’re looking to explore more of the area on foot, our Walking the Amalfi Coast trip gives you the perfect opportunity to discover more of this picturesque town. It takes you past ancient stone houses and local shepherd huts along the Sentiero degli Dei (Path of the Gods), before descending into Positano. Or, if you’d like to discover the region on two wheels, our Cycle Cilento & the Amalfi Coast trip includes a fantastic Positano tour, taking you along the scenic Strada Amalfitana towards the pastel-coloured towns of Amalfi, Praino and Positano, with beautiful views over the whole peninsula and out to the enchanting island of Capri.
