Sea or slope

On the water, boats show you the cliffs, the grottoes and Positano’s stacked houses from below. On land, lemon terraces and the Valley of the Mills behind Amalfi reward an easy walk, and Ravello sits high above the town.

Why We Picked These Tours

Amalfi’s cathedral, with its ornate facade and Arab-Norman cloister, anchors the main square. The town was once a maritime republic, and it still has a paper museum and a small beach beside the harbor.

Seasons and Crowds in Amalfi

May, June and September give the best mix of calm seas and fewer crowds. July and August are hot and congested, and boat services run mainly from spring to autumn. Winter is quiet, with some places closed.

Choosing Where to Stay in Amalfi
