Best time to visit: May to June and September to October, for warm Mediterranean weather without the peak-July-August crowds and heat.
Getting around: Naples International Airport is the main gateway, roughly 1.5 to 2 hours by road or hydrofoil-plus-transfer to Positano and Ravello; within each village, the steep, narrow streets are best explored on foot, with local buses and private drivers connecting Positano, Ravello, and other coastal towns along the winding Amalfi Drive.
Currency: Euro (€)
Language: Italian. English is widely spoken in tourism.
Timezone: CET (UTC+1, UTC+2 in summer)
Current trends: Positano and Ravello continue to anchor the Amalfi Coast's ultra-luxury identity, with Le Sirenuse's Michelin-starred, candlelit La Sponda and Belmond Hotel Caruso's cliff-pouring infinity pool remaining the coast's most photographed and sought-after experiences, while family-owned properties like Le Sirenuse (since 1951) continue to be valued for generational hospitality over larger chain-hotel service.
