Alternatives to Positano: every coastal town in Campania and Calabria that is not on the postcard

Positano is a fine town that has stopped being a town and become a queue. If what you wanted from it was a fishing village stacked up a cliff with the sea underneath, the same coast has that in a dozen other places, and further south the Cilento and the Calabrian shore have it with the beach still attached.

This is every coastal town in Campania and Calabria in our catalogue, 34 of them, with Positano, Amalfi and Capri themselves taken out. They are in the order of how much outside recognition each one carries: a Blue Flag, a place on the Borghi più belli list, a listing in a guide. Type a name or a province into the box to jump.
