Is March Right for You?
Weigh the advantages and considerations before booking
- + Positano's cliffs rise like a stone ladder. Three hundred steps to your door feel easy before summer turns each tread into a sweat bath.
- + You own the Sentiero degli Dei. Wild broom and rosemary scent the air. Footsteps echo. Waves slap 500 meters below.
- + Snag a table at La Sponda. Four hundred candles glow over hand-painted tiles. No two-month wait in March.
- + March light is soft gold. Summer glare hasn't arrived. Pastel walls photograph themselves.
- − Tyrrhenian water is 15°C. A quick paddle at Fornillo Beach wakes you up. Long swims are for seals.
- − One third of the tiny shops on Viale Pasitea stay shuttered. Owners rest before Easter.
- − Sunshine can vanish in minutes. Morning blue turns to mist. Santa Maria Assunta's dome disappears.
Best Activities in March
Top things to do during your visit
March delivers rare calm water. Ferries haven't arrived. Around Li Galli islands the sea is glass. Air stays crisp for hours on deck. Cliffs, caves, pastel villages slide past in silence. Water is for viewing, not jumping in.
Vines above Tramonti get pruned. Cantinas smell of fermenting aglianico. Taste new wine from the barrel. Winemakers talk. The road to Ravello, 350 meters up, is empty. Views from Villa Rufolo are wide open.
Kitchens are warm in March. Steam fogs the windows. Lemon zest from terraced gardens hits the pasta. Winter greens go into the sauce. You cook what grows now.
March is prime for the 8 km Path of the Gods. Summer sun is brutal. Now wildflowers line the trail. Rocks stay cool. Views to Capri are razor sharp. Goat bells ring across the gorge.
SS163 is almost empty. No July tailbacks. You can stop at Fiordo di Furore alone. Salt, pine, and two-stroke oil fill the air. Classic Amalfi, distilled.
