Start Your Days Around 9:30–10:00
Most cafes and shops in Amalfi are open by this time, and starting a bit later avoids the morning delivery traffic and gives you a more relaxed rhythm.
Use Amalfi as Your Hub
Base yourself in or right next to Amalfi so most activities, restaurants, and transport options are within a 10–15 minute walk.
Plan Around Heat and Crowds
In warmer months, do walks and more active adventures in the morning, then spend hot afternoons near the water or indoors.
Buy Snacks and Water in Minimarkets
Skip buying drinks and snacks only at seafront kiosks; instead, stock up at small supermarkets and alimentari in the back streets.
Check Weather for Boat and Kayak Days
Look 1–2 days ahead at wind and sea conditions; your operators may reschedule if seas are rough, so keep one flexible day as backup.
Mind the Steps and Footwear
Wear sturdy sandals or trainers with grip, as many routes in and around Amalfi involve steps, cobblestones, and sloping lanes.
Use Ferries Where Possible
When moving along the coast, ferries are often more scenic and less cramped than buses, especially in busy months.
Stay Connected Selectively
Rely on offline maps and saved reservations so you only need mobile data occasionally, turning roaming or an eSIM on when necessary.
