Local tips
- Book a morning slot if you want the markets open, an evening slot for wine and street food.
- Take the boat rather than the bus to Positano in summer, as the coast road can be very slow.
- Board the Circumvesuviana early for Pompeii, as trains get crowded and the site is hot by midday.
Combine it with: Boat trip to Capri with a stop near the Blue Grotto, Amalfi Coast day tour to Positano and Amalfi and Pompeii guided tour from Sorrento.
