When to Go
May-June and September-October offer perfect weather and fewer crowds. Spring has wildflowers; fall has harvest season.
Avoid: July-August is extremely crowded and hot. November-March sees closures and rain.
Getting There
Fly into Naples Airport (NAP), then hire a private driver or take the Circumvesuviana train to Sorrento and connect via bus or boat. Rome is 3 hours by car. Private transfers highly recommended for winding coastal roads.
Local Tips
- Rent a scooter or hire a driver - roads are narrow and parking nearly impossible
- Book hotels and restaurants months in advance for summer season
- Visit Ravello for quieter elegance away from Positano crowds
- Bring cash - many small shops and restaurants don't accept cards
