+Festive lights in Salerno and Amalfi.
–Wet weather and limited services.
December has festive lights in Salerno's Luci d'Artista and a few open hotels around Christmas, but most of the coast stays closed.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
