Amalfi
Cliffside lemon-groves and pastel villages stacked over the Tyrrhenian — Italy at its most postcardly. Eye-watering in July-August, much more reasonable in May or September.
When to go
From the 2026 climate study, not the live forecast.Avoid August unless price is no concern — Amalfi triples in cost and the coast road becomes a single lane of crawling buses. May and September are the calibration months: warm enough to swim (22-25°C sea), shoulder pricing, working ferries. Stairs everywhere; not for limited mobility. The town of Amalfi itself is more workable than Positano (cheaper, less Instagram-clogged) for actually staying.
