Why have poor fishing villages become tourist attractions now?

After seeing too many ancient towns that are becoming more and more the same, are you tired of aesthetics? Today, Little Traveling Rabbit will give you a change of taste and show you the scenery of the most beautiful cliff town.

This cliff town is called Positano, located on the Amalfi Coast in the Campania region of Italy. It is known as "the most beautiful town in the Mediterranean".

The town faces the Mediterranean Sea, and the houses are built against the mountains. Colorful houses are staggered on the cliff, with lemon trees, olive trees, palm trees and various flowers dotted in front and behind the houses. The exquisite houses, bright colors, coupled with the blue water and blue sky, make people fall in love at first sight.

Climb up the ancient steps, wander through the winding alleys, go for a walk on the beach, enjoy the sea breeze and bask in the sun, or climb to a high place to look into the distance and overlook The whole town... Inadvertently, you will find that you have fallen in love with this town with beautiful scenery at every step.

Positano flourished as a port in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. However, by the mid-19th century, more than half of the population had immigrated to the United States, and the town began to decline. In the first half of the twentieth century, Positano became a relatively poor fishing village. The turning point came in the 1950s. In May 1953, after the American Nobel Prize winner John Steinbeck published an article about Positano in a famous magazine, Positano began to attract a large number of tourists.
