[edit] Geography
It is situated between Amalfi and Positano. One of the more popular attractions is the Grotto Esmerelda, or the "Green Grotto". Although not nearly as famous as the Blue Grotto of the island of Capri, the Grotto Esmerelda, as the name would suggest, features a green light reflection inside the grotto pool.
