Activities in Positano

Something different that I also came across while I was in Positano was the activities available for everyone to partake in. Along the side of the beach was an area set up with a few carnival games. The games consisted of throwing a ball to knock over the bottle and another one with the same idea only this one you would use a gun to shoot over the object. The targets were a close distance from where you would stand to make your attempt at hitting the bottles. This made it easier to win a small prize. It wasn’t like at the carnivals or boardwalk games where they make it almost impossible to win. Almost everyone walked away with a souvenir. Most of the mementos offered were stuffed animals or little sand toys.

Painted ceramic pottery was also a huge deal in the small town. Many of the little shops contained hand decorated household items. There were mugs, plates, salt and pepper shakers, ash trays, and tea pots. Everything was priced at varying costs according to the size and detail of the piece. They were great gift ideas for my family and friends at home!
