FAQs
April, May and September are great months to visit the Amalfi coast. With less crowds and lovely weather, it is a great time to explore.
The nearest airport to the Amalfi Coast is Naples. Many budget airlines fly there making it an affordable place to access.
Pintour offer a shuttle from Naples airport to the Amalfi coast, stopping at a variety of towns, which takes around an hour and 45 minutes.
You can also take a ferry from Naples Beverello port to Amalfi. The direct route will take around 2 hours.
Alternatively you can get a Taxi from Naples airport straight to your hotel. We did this in April and it cost us €130 for a large taxi for 5 people. It took around an hour and a half.
You can also take the train to Sorrento and then a bus to your location on the Amalfi coast. If you have lots of time you can stop off at Pompeii which is on the train route! They have a luggage storage space for a small fee.
There are definitely better places in Italy to visit with kids, but that isn’t to say you shouldn’t go.
If you do decide to head there with young children, consider leaving the pram at home and using a carrier or sling. There are lots of steps and hills meaning little kids could easily get tired.
If your kids love the beach and can be occupied with gelato and great food, then I’m sure they will love it!
You should plan to spend around 4-5 days in the Amalfi Coast. This will give you enough time to see a variety of towns and mooch around leisurely.

How many people get to say they’ve slept on a frozen lake under the northern lights?! 😮✨
These little cabins are very basic, maybe not ideal for anyone who wants luxury - but - they are on skis 😮 and each evening the owner drags you onto a frozen lake with his snow mobile. No light pollution, no noise, just pure peace (aside from the sound of occasional cracking ice, which is apparently normal 😅😆)
These cabins are with @lakeinarimobilecabins - it was a few years ago that we went. I think they get booked up quite far in advance now - but message the fella, it’s naturally cheaper to book direct 🤍

This is one of the best Eurocamps we’ve been to, particularly for families who love a waterpark! There are so many slides, splash areas and pools to spend the day exploring. On top of that you’re right by a beach, close to the gorgeous city of Venice and there’s even a fun fair!
If you want more information on this camp comment GUIDE and ill send you our Union lido review and guide 💛
This was a PR trip from 2025 but this post and guide were made independently as it’s one of our favourite camps ✨
