@vickirutwind: Social media lied 😳 🇮🇹 I’ve been dreaming of going to Positano on Italy’s Amalfi Coast for years. And while it is definitely a very very very beautiful town, it wasn’t exactly what I was expecting. ✈️ I was expecting all of the stairs, but I wasn’t expecting the magnitude of the crowds and the lineups. 📝 Positano has become a travel destination where you need to have every moment of your itinerary planned out in advance, and book reservations for pretty much everything. Otherwise, it will all be booked up before you even touch down in Italy. And while that might be your travel style, I really like having an opportunity to explore and be spontaneous. 💴 I also think if you want some of the magical experiences you are seeing on social media, you have to pay a major premium to stay at the super luxury hotels, and dine at the most expensive restaurants with reservations booked way in advance. 🌎 In the end, I did still have a nice time in Positano because it’s a beautiful town, the main beach has a nice beach club, and we had some nice meals. But for now, it’s not one of my favorite travel destinations. I’m on the fence about whether I’ll return. Have you been to Positano? And if you have, what did you think about it? #positano #positanoitaly #amalficoast #travelitaly #instagramvsreality #italytravel
