What to pack for The Amalfi Coast in November

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

Glare off the water sharpens even at low UV index 2.8.

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

Rural terrain and coastal access mean help is far away.

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 at 9.9 hours drains devices faster than you expect.

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

Dark by 5:40pm. Every campsite chore after that is a two-hands job.

Ferries between towns mean one bag fits the cabin size.

Day hikes from the coast climb fast and need hands free.

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.

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

Tap water is safe, so a bottle cuts plastic waste.

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.

Coastal towns draw tourists; petty theft follows the crowds.

Train stations and ferry terminals are chaos points for luggage.

Damp air at 82% humidity warps loose clothes in a week.

Sixteen rain days a month mean laundry dries slowly indoors.

Crowded villages and bus routes become tolerable with sound blocking.

Rain hits 16 days this month, soaking through untreated leather fast.

International travel requires a backup when soap and water aren't nearby.

One outlet per guesthouse means charging happens in sequence, not parallel.

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

International border crossings require the document within arm's reach.

Shared accommodations need locks on zippers and clasps.

Humidity breeds mildew in closed toiletry cases within days.

Ferry cabins are tight; a pillow makes narrow bunks bearable.
