Anyone ever been to the Amalfi Coast? What was your experience? My wife is trying to decide on a vacation spot and someone recommended Positano to her.

Thanks for the reply. Other than beach and boat tours, what did you actually do day to day? How crowded was the beach (the pics look pretty crowded). Did you stay in a hotel or Airbnb?

The Amalfi coast is high on my bucket list... what time of the year can you generally find the best airfare?

Looks like if we are willing to spend a night in New York each way, we'd save up to $1,000 total by flying Southwest from Love Field to NY then flying to Milan the next day. Certainly worth considering.
We just booked flights on American/British Airways last Thursday for our anniversary trip in October. Not our first choice of airline, but a roundtrip from IAH to Rome was $555 each. Deals are there to be found, just track your dates in google flights and on hopper (app). We plan on spending 4 or 5 days down in the Amalfi Coast area before heading back north.Player To Be Named Later said:

Absolutely one of my top five places to eat in the world is La Tagliata, just up the hill from Positano.
Call from your hotel or B&B and they will pick you up in a shuttle bus and deliver to the restaurant, then back down to town afterwards.

My wife and I just got back from a trip to Italy. We started the trip by flying to Naples and getting a car service to Positano. We stayed at Hotel Buca di Bacco which was very nice and one of the best locations in Positano. We opted for a beach view room with the balcony and it was extremely relaxing to just sit on the balcony and have a drink. The restaurant at the hotel was good as well, and their breakfast (included) was very, very good.
My favorite thing that we did was rent a small boat - looks like an inflatable raft, but the inside is fiberglass and it had a 40 HP engine on it. We took it out ourselves with no captain and went over to Capri. The views along the coast are amazing. We had so much fun that we rented the same boat the next day and went the other way along the coast to see the different villages from the water and went almost all the way to Salerno. It was 70EU for the first hour and we could keep it out as long as we wanted and just settled up when we returned. There was an anchor onboard which they said we could use if we saw a beach we wanted to stop at. We didn't really swim because the water was a little cold.
All in all, 3 days there was plenty for us, but I would go back again just for the relaxation and the views. Completely amazing.
