A photo of the receipt paid by two English tourists who shelled out 30 euros for two Peroni “Capri” beers has gone viral on the web.
The receipt published by “Il Quotidiano della Costiera” accompanied by the story and the controversies that are being unleashed perhaps even more than necessary.
Because those who know the prices of Positano but more generally of the Sorrento Coast and the Sorrento Peninsula and Capri know that most likely that cost is to be considered anything but excessive.
While no one seems to be indignant, because one should be indignant and perhaps even more so about the costs of parking in Positano and the surrounding area.
Or even 60 euros for a drink on one of the terraces of a well-known hotel in Positano It has become a cult place for Americans who compete every evening to post photos on their Instagram profiles.
The fact is that the two tourists, father and daughter, from Nottingham have sparked controversy on the web for 30 euros.
But this was the summer of crazy receipts, including this one about two beers for 30 euros. Of course, in these areas the prices are unsustainable. But as long as tourists come and pay, those who keep the prices high are right.
Then when foreign tourists begin to understand that elsewhere without stress, without traffic and with a sea perhaps even cleaner the costs are decidedly lower and they will move away from Italy then the local tourism and food and beverage entrepreneurs will begin to complain. But it will probably be too late.
