After waiting
one year, we finally managed to take our honeymoon! We both have been looking
forward to this trip for quite some time and couldn’t wait for our plane to
take off from JFK. We left on Friday afternoon and arrived at Frankfurt at
5:30am. Our flight to Naples wasn’t until 10:30am so we walked around the
airport, grabbed breakfast, and took a little nap. Surprisingly, the time went
by quickly! Our flight to Naples was only 1.5 hours and before we knew it, we
were waiting for our bags to come onto the carrousel in baggage claim. I was
extremely nervous our bags wouldn’t make it as my mom has lost her luggage a
few times in Italy and Greece. Per her recommendation, we took a carry on bag
packed with a few days of our clothes and shared one big suitcase, which we
checked. Thankfully, the bag arrived!
We walked out
of the terminal and were greeted by our driver, Salvatore, whom I had found via
Trip Advisor. You can get to Positano from Naples by bus or car; however, it’s
highly recommended to arrange for a car service; you are just too tired when
you arrive to deal with the confusion of the bus. Salvatore was fantastic and
gave us a tour and all of the history as we passed through the beautiful
seaside towns along the way to Positano.
At one point, he made us get out of the car to take a picture and see the impressive cliffs and emerald water. We arrived to the Marincanto Hotel, which is situated at the top of Positano in a perfect location. The hotel is beautiful with panoramic views of the ocean. The staff is amazing and ensured we had the best room in the hotel to celebrate our honeymoon. Our room is absolutely spectacular with the most amazing patio, outdoor shower, and views of the ocean!

After unpacking, we took a quick nap before heading down to
the beach to take our first dip in the sea. The beaches are very rocky and the
water is extremely salty….not to mention, we had to walk down 290 steps from
our hotel to get there….Yes, I counted! We took our quick dip, got ready for
dinner, and headed out to a spot called Bruno’s, which was recommended by our
driver. We sat on the sidewalk overlooking Positano and enjoyed our first Italian
meal. It was the perfect meal to start our honeymoon!
