+Warm sea and concerts in Ravello.
–Hot, crowded and the most expensive month.
July is when the coast is at its most packed and priciest. Ravello's summer festival adds an evening highlight, but midday in Positano can feel like a queue.
Scores and crowd levels are my own judgement; temperatures are monthly averages. Higher scores are better: quieter, cheaper and more pleasant.
