Positano for couples: sunset and golden hour by date

Positano at blue hour: the town tumbling down to its tiled dome, and the moon laying silver on the sea below the road.

In the reel: A couple seen from behind rides a Vespa down a winding coastal road past bougainvillea-draped houses, with Positano's tiled dome and the moonlit sea in view, at night.

The view is real. It comes from Positano's one road loop: the postcard look down to the dome of Santa Maria Assunta is on Via Cristoforo Colombo near the Sponda bus stop, and the other leg, Viale Pasitea, has its own view of the town. The loop is one-way, in from the Sorrento side at Chiesa Nuova, down Viale Pasitea to Piazza dei Mulini and up Via Cristoforo Colombo to Sponda, so the riding clip is the downhill leg. The sun sets behind the mountains here, so the night version in the drawing is the honest one.
