When is the best time to visit Positano

It is important to determine just the right time to travel from Pompeii to Positano and tour along the Amalfi Coast.

Summer is the most popular time to visit this cliff-hanging town. It is usually teeming with visitors eager to soak up the sun while lying on the beaches. These crowds usually begin coming in June and start to make their exit in early September. Because of this, we say the late spring and early fall are the best times to visit Positano. The weather is still pleasant, and most hotels, shops, and restaurants remain open until late October, but without the crowds, you'll actually be able to enjoy the beautiful setting.

Afterwards, everything shuts down for the winter with business setting up shop again in April. While this, and the cooler weather and more rain, aren't ideal for the sunny jet-set dream, it does give Positano a more intimate air if you're after a more quiet holiday.
