What you gain in February

  • Almond blossom along the lower terraces: the first colour returns to the coast in February — photogenic and undervisited
  • Naples Carnival (40 minutes by ferry or road): one of Italy's most exuberant Mardi Gras celebrations, accessible as a day trip
  • Budget rates unchanged from January: the emptiest and cheapest two months on the coast

What you sacrifice

  • 88mm of rain still likely: winter storms can close the SS163 coastal road for short periods
  • Limited dining options: many places running reduced winter menus or still closed entirely
  • Sea too cold for swimming (14°C): the coast is for walking and views, not beach days in February
