As is the case with most of the Mediterranean, the best time to visit Naples is generally during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October). YouтАЩll find the weather is mild and pleasant at this time, there are fewer crowds, and accommodation is usually a bit cheaper.
Summer is peak season, with many coming to work on their tan and cool off by the coast. The weather from Minori to Naples is fairly consistent, given their short distance, however, Naples may feel hotter due to its larger size and the urban heat island effect.

тАЬDuring our recent visit to Italy we found that the shortest way to get from point A, Minori to B, Napoli was to take a car ride. One of the roads to Napoli that happened to be the shortest route was closed but, our driver Antonio was a true professional and got us over to train terminal on time. I highly recommend this car service.тАЭ
