What to pack for The Amalfi Coast in March

13 rain days a month finds every seam. A real shell, not a windbreaker.

Lows around 46°F. Goes under the shell when the wind picks up.

Wear one, dry one. Cotton stays wet all week here.

The layer you'll wear more than any other.

Lows reach 46°F and wind gusts to 13 km/h, so a beanie blocks heat loss from your head.

UV index sits at 5.7 and water reflects rays upward, so sunscreen prevents burns even on cool days.

Glare off the sea intensifies in bright sun, and polarized lenses cut the reflection that strains eyes.

Check ankles and, if there's a dog, paws and ears every night.

Rural terrain and coastal exposure raise the odds of minor cuts and scrapes during walks.

This country runs on Type C, F or L. Get one with USB-C so you're not fighting over the single outlet.

Short daylight hours mean you photograph and navigate by phone, draining batteries faster than expected.

Set it up before you land. Signal drops for long stretches outside cities.

Thirteen rain days and coastal wind mean you'll pack layers, a light jacket, and a daypack that fits airline overhead bins.

Coastal towns spread across hillsides, and a daypack carries layers as temperature swings through the day.

Fits the overhead on every airline that matters. Skip the checked-bag line entirely.

For the passport, the chargers, and the one dry pair of socks.

The coast stays cool enough in March that a neck gaiter layers under jackets without bulk.

For temples, mosques, and churches that check at the door.

One brick charges the laptop, phone, and camera.

Hotel and cafe wifi is shared with everyone else in the building. A VPN keeps your banking and email to yourself.

International travel and crowds at coastal sites make a money belt the safest pocket for documents.

Crowded trains and ferry terminals make trackers worthwhile insurance against a lost or stolen bag.

Packing cubes compress damp clothes and separate clean items when laundry waits between towns.

Thirteen rain days soak clothes, and detergent lets you wash in your room instead of paying laundromats.

Lows around 46°F. One blanket that packs small covers the car, the campsite and the beach at sunset.

Coastal wind and ferry engines are loud, so headphones let you rest during long travel days between towns.

Highs only hit 61°F, making a packable down vest the difference between comfortable and shivering.

Thirteen rain days mean wet boots, and spray protects leather before water soaks through seams.

Eleven hours of daylight means hours in the sun, and a cap shields your face without the bulk of a hood.

Tap water is safe here, but a small bottle of sanitizer handles surfaces in trains and buses.

One cable per pocket keeps your devices charged without tangling or searching through luggage.

A few phrases go a long way. Ten minutes a day before you leave is plenty.

International border crossing requires your passport, and a holder keeps it dry through 13 rain days.

Shared accommodations and ferry travel make locks standard protection for zippers and compartments.

Humidity hits 77%, so a hanging bag dries toiletries and keeps mold off brushes and bottles.

Ferry schedules mean odd sleep times, and a pillow makes dozing on buses and boats less painful.
