The month of September has always been considered one of the most fascinating and pleasant times to visit Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast, with its mild temperatures, sunny days and less crowds making it the setting for the most unforgettable and relaxing holiday. At the beginning of September, Sorrento and the entire Amalfi Coast feels as if it’s the second spring of the year.

Autumn is a long way off and the scorching hot days of August are becoming fresher and cooler with the light breezes of September. This is also the most beautiful time to swim in the Gulf of Sorrento or in the crystal clear bays of Capri, so you absolutely must not forget to bring a swimming costume. The flow of tourists is slowing down and with the beginning of the school year and the unofficial ending of the holiday season, the most important roads and tourist attractions are much more easier and quicker to visit.
