Positano’s shopping scene offers more than just window browsing – it’s a chance to learn the stories behind the town’s famous crafts. The best small-group tours skip the tourist traps and head straight to authentic family-run shops where you’ll watch sandal makers, ceramicists, and fashion designers at work. We especially like the half-day artisan workshop tours, where you meet local makers and learn traditional techniques passed down through generations. The morning market walks are also terrific, combining food tastings with visits to shopkeepers who’ve been in business for decades.
