We would recommend visiting this town in the spring or fall, where you can enjoy the mild temperatures and the delicious foods in the restaurants without having to share it all with too many other tourists.
The winter months are especially suitable for hikes in the mountains. The average temperature is around 15°C , so you don’t perspire too much when you are working hard to get yourself up yet another mountain. However, once you reach the top you will realize that all the work was worthwhile as you will have an amazing view of the whole coast as well as the island of Capri.
One of the most popular is the “Sentiero degli Dei”, the hiking path of the gods. Allegedly this is the path that the gods took to get from the mountains to the sea, to listen to the enticing song of the Sirens.
