Budgeting and Travel Tips for Naples

  • Peak season in winter, fall, or spring often means inflated prices and a busy beach town. You can save some money and skip the crowds by opting for the shoulder or low seasons for your visit.
  • Since Naples is quite expansive, you'll typically find a wide range of prices for hotels, food, and activities. By exploring your options, reserving in advance, and enjoying free attractions, you can keep your costs down.
  • Slowing down while you travel can lead to significant savings, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of your surroundings. If you overload your itinerary with activities, you'll likely spend a lot more. However, embracing a slower pace can help you enjoy your trip and cut costs.

Budgeting Challenges

  • Countless visitors flock to Naples for its incredible scuba diving experiences. However, this can be quite costly, leaving little room to cut back on expenses. Dive trips, gear rentals, and boat outings may take up a significant portion of your budget. It's also wise to review your travel insurance to ensure it covers all scenarios, including accidents and weather-related cancellations.
  • Public transportation is quite scarce in Naples. It may be beneficial to rent a car or arrange a form of transport in advance, like a tour. Keep in mind that this could impact your budget in other ways.
  • There aren't a lot of hostel options in Naples, so if you're thinking of saving money in a dorm, you might need to adjust your travel plans. A cheap hotel or apartment rental may be a better choice.
