The best time to visit the Amalfi Coast is…Always!
The Amalfi Coast is famous throughout the world for its breathtaking landscapes, good food and the excellent tourist services it offers. In fact, every year millions of visitors choose it for their holidays.
But if someone about to book their trip asked a local inhabitant what the best time to visit this wonderful land is, the answer would be all year round!
Here are the reasons why:
Such a fascinating land manages to offer an unforgettable experience in all seasons, the important thing is to have the opportunity to see it!
Even if tourist activities are subject to seasonality, therefore starting at Easter and ending at the end of October, winter also has a lot to offer on the Amalfi Coast. The climate mitigated by the sea in this area offers winters that are not at all cold and pleasantly warm summers.
Let’s start with spring: it is the period in which tourist activities restart at full speed after the winter slowdown, the days begin to be longer and you can smell the scent of flowers and typical trees in the streets, such as the colorful bougainvillea, the citrus lemons and oranges and the intense scent of olives. An atmosphere of rebirth and hope can be felt in the air, the landscapes and the sea shine with a particular light, thanks to the sun’s rays which are not yet particularly strong. If you are looking for a mild climate and a bit of tranquility this is the perfect season to discover the beauties of the Amalfi Coast. With a boat excursion, you will have the opportunity to visit the Emerald Grotto in Conca dei Marini and the Blue Grotto in Capri without having to wait in line for a long time.
During the summer the Amalfi Coast offers the best of itself for those who love being on the beach, swimming and taking a boat ride along the coasts to admire Positano, Furore, Amalfi, Atrani, Capri and much more! To enjoy a moment of relaxation and get away from the summer crowds of the center, we recommend a private boat tour along the Amalfi Coast or Capri. The sea breeze makes the heat not sultry, and it is also pleasant to take a walk on long summer evenings through the alleys full of typical shops, which offer ceramics of Vietri, Positano fashion clothes, handmade sandals, as well as local gastronomic delicacies such as mozzarella, handmade pasta, limoncello prepared with lemons from the Amalfi Coast and much more.
Autumn is now an extension of summer, and the climate is still mild and pleasant. Every now and then a little rain makes the air cooler, offering a different view of the landscapes as well as a shining and crystalline sea. It is the period in which you can enjoy some of the most beautiful sunsets, from Positano and Praiano you will have the opportunity to savor the beauty of the sun that meets the Faraglioni of Capri in the distance ending beyond the sea. To best admire the colors of the last lights of the day, we recommend a private experience at sunset of an hour and a half! In this season there is also a suitable climate for a walk along the famous Sentiero degli Idei, where you can observe Positano, Praiano, the island li Galli and Capri from above, as you have never seen them!
And then there is the winter: although it is not possible to use some services during this period, when there is a sunny day, it will still feel like summer. Sometimes bad weather arrives here too, and in this case it will be possible to admire the particular charm of the winter sea, made up of storm surges that almost reach the balconies of the houses. This period is extremely suggestive for incurable romantics.
