Amalfi Coast
The Amalfi Coast is a chain of distinct towns, not a single resort. Link Amalfi’s lanes, Ravello’s gardens and Positano’s beaches with ferry rides, leaving breathing room for stairs and long lunches.
When to go: May–June and September bring useful ferry connections and better walking conditions than the fiercest summer heat.
