Positano nightlife

Two impossibly cool discos on the chic Amalfi Coast town of Positano

Positano actually has two nighclubs (well, one is a bit outside town), both converted from caves. Both clubs are open nightly June to August, weekends in May and September, and close the rest of the year. If clubs aren't really your vibe, the bar beneath TK is nice and comfortable, if a bit brightly-lit.
