When is the best time to go on holiday in the Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is a seasonal destination with bustling summers and quiet winters. The high season runs from July to August, when small towns and beaches can swell with local and international tourists. Accommodation prices also rise with the temperatures, with restaurants and sunbeds filling up fast. To avoid the crowds, consider travelling just outside these periods, from spring to June and September to October. Avid hikers should aim to travel in April and May for the cooling spring air and beautiful blooming wildflowers. Winter sees resorts, hotels, restaurants, and attractions shut for several months.
Going on holiday in the Amalfi Coast
