Hotels in Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples, Italy

The Amalfi Coast and Gulf of Naples stretch along southern Italy's Tyrrhenian Sea, famous for dramatic cliffs, pastel villages like Positano, and the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Summers are hot and crowded (80-90°F / 27-32°C), perfect for sailing along the coast or hiking the Path of the Gods, while mild winters (50-60°F / 10-15°C) let you explore Herculaneum and sample limoncello in Ravello without the crowds. If you're after a mix of history and seaside, head to Naples for its pizza and archaeological museum, then catch a ferry to Capri for the Blue Grotto-just skip August if you hate queues.
