The coast of Amalfi is washed by the waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea, which is part of the Mediterranean Sea. The sea gets its name from the Greek tyrrhenoi, the name given by the ancient Greeks to the people from Lydia (Asia Minor) who migrated to the Apennine Peninsula.
The average water temperature of the Tyrrhenian Sea in May is 19 ° C, and in June - +23 ° C. In turn, the water temperature in Tyrrhenian Sea in July and August ranges from +25-26 ° C. Due to the rather high thermometer readings the swimming season for most tourists in Amalfi lasts at least from May to September.
In addition, in the spring and autumn for those who are cool to swim in the open sea, the resort operates heated pools. The average temperature of the Tyrrhenian Sea in September reaches +24.9 ° C, and in October drops to +21.5 ° C.
The tides of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the hot and humid weather are not an obstacle for water lovers.
