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
