Ways to save
- Visit in the shoulder seasons (April-May or September-October) for hotel rates 20-30% lower than peak summer (June-August), saving €50-€100 per night.
- Utilize local SITA bus services for transport between towns (e.g., Amalfi to Positano is ~€2.70 one-way) instead of expensive private taxis (€30-€50 per ride), saving significant amounts per trip.
- Opt for apartments with kitchenettes or buy groceries from local markets (e.g., a meal for €5-€10 from a market vs. €20-€40 at a restaurant).
- Take advantage of free activities like hiking the Path of the Gods (Sentiero degli Dei) or exploring the beaches, saving on paid excursions.
- Dine at trattorias and pizzerias favored by locals, where a main course can be €10-€15 compared to tourist-trap restaurants at €25-€40.
- Consider staying in less famous towns like Minori or Maiori, where accommodation can be 15-25% cheaper than in Amalfi or Positano, saving €30-€70 per night.
