15 Things I Wish I Knew Before Visiting the Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹

The Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, but it can also be one of the most overwhelming if you don't know what you're walking into 😅 After multiple trips down here, these are the things I really wish someone had told me before my first visit - the small stuff, the practical stuff, and one slightly hard take on a famous Italian city that most travel YouTubers won't say out loud... 🤓 *LINKS MENTIONED & WORTH KNOWING ABOUT:* 🏨 The Hotel I Stayed At On This Trip: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/reginellaamalfiyt Some of my favourite hotels on the Amalfi Coast: 💸💸💸: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/sirenuseamalfiyt 💸💸: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/damalfihospitalityyt 💸: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/residencepanomaioriyty 🚘 Book a private driver from Naples Airport to the Coast: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/privatedrivernaplesamalfiyt 🏞️ Things To Do, Tours & Excursions on the Amalfi Coast - Check out reviews from other travellers and get inspired: https://destinationwellknown.com/link/amalfithingstodoyt 👉 My video on where to stay on the Amalfi Coast: https://youtu.be/sPshRkMiTW0?si=XPjIRuDXs0nSUyb_ 👨🏻‍💻 My blog post on the best areas to stay & loads of hotel recommendations: https://destinationwellknown.com/where-to-stay-amalfi-coast/ 🇮🇹 All my Italy Travel Guides on my blog: https://destinationwellknown.com/italy/ 🏟️ My big Rome Travel Guide video (in case you fancy visiting one of the best cities in the world which is quite near the Amalfi Coast): https://youtu.be/HKU_Zqq-rxw?si=wbP_8LCzgFG-l1rf _A bit of background if you've never heard about this part of Italy:_ 🍋 The Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana) is a 50-kilometre stretch of coastline along the southern edge of the Sorrentine Peninsula in the Campania region of southern Italy. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, famous for its dramatic cliffs, pastel-coloured cliffside villages, lemon groves, and that one impossibly winding coastal road known as the SS163. The most well-known towns are Positano, Amalfi, Ravello, Praiano, Maiori and Minori. Sorrento sits just to the north on the Bay of Naples - technically not on the Amalfi Coast itself, but often used as a base (and hands down one of my favourite towns in the area). The closest airports are Naples (about 1.5 hours away), but you could also use Rome's airports as I say in the video 🤝 The Amalfi Coast is a year-round destination, but the high season runs from June through September. Spring (April-May) and early autumn (September-October) are usually the sweet spot if you want better weather than winter, fewer crowds than midsummer, and ferries still running on full schedules.
