We stayed in Sorrento and did day boat trips to Capri, Positano, and Amalfi. If I had to do it all over again, I would not change a thing!
Empty
We went to Italy for 16 days and spent the last 5 nights in Positano but we were there late October and it hit 80 which we weren’t expecting. Staying during shoulder season was great! Way less crowded and our hotel prices were less. There were a few restaurants that were closed but not many.
My advice. Do not drive or get buses. The boats take you from the main parts of the coast and run all day. It takes a bit of organizing. My advice is pick a hub for a few days and then boat about the coast.
Also , dont stay anywhere nearly Positano or Amalfi. If you can get a spot in Minori , there is no other place to stay. Its where the italians go, its not touristy whatsoever. Food and drink are exceptional and cheaper and its walking distance to the busier Maiori. Im shocked it wasnt mentioned in this video.
How would I go about hiring a car for the day?
So if it were me, I'd go off season. It has to be lovely in April and October. I went to Pompeii in February and it was so nice. Nobody was there. I get that people have kids in school and all that but my parents used to pull us out of school to travel!! I was always glad that I seemed to live in Italy and England from January to april.
Yes, the Italians are so wonderful when you try to speak some Italian.
Also if you have studied Italian don't be surprised if it's hard to understand the folks in that area.
Don’t forget Capri. It is magical!!
And Pompeii is a must!!
Great tips!
Don't think you can swim for free (unless you are prepared to change into your swim suit under your towel as I did two weeks ago). To access the change room, even for a short dip, I would have had to rent a chair for 25 euros). As it turned out – I didn't swim long – the water smelled like gas from all the boats. This is one of the most overrated, unfriendly and expensive places I have visited. I am glad we just took the ferry for the day and got out in the late afternoon.
I see all these videos and i have to ask… for someone who has to travel in a wheelchair, what countries outside of the U.S. are the most handicap accessible?
support you.. your videos helped out
When we spend our holidays in Italy on the coast we only eat fresh fish with lemon and salad. The fish tastes so delicious there.And then don`t forget the delicious homemade ice cream for dessert.
Yes i went to Pompey it was amazing
Going on my honeymoon and staying in Positano and Ravello. Hired a driver for a lot for the trip lol And Also being a ancient Rome geek a little visiting Pompeii and hiking Mt Vesuvius. Bunch of day trips all around, ferry to Capri, sorrento, amalfi etc. So excited!
Luckily I hate travelling during summer months. I want to travel only when it's as cold as possible.
Ignore the "dont drive" i hired a Fiat 500 last week for 4 days. The driving was UNBELIEVABLE the sights were breathtaking. We found parking simple as well so overall i highly recommend you drive. We stayed in Sorrento, the drive to Amalfi was around 1 hour 45 mins. Public transport is to be avoided!! personally because the buses were over crowded & people push to get on the buses.
Great tips and reminders for fellow travelers in this video. 👍👍👍
Don't puke on the bus, why do ya call it the vomit bus ?
I have never thrown up in my whole life
We stayed in Praiano on our honeymoon, and it was beautiful! Also, if you’re a pretty active person, maybe hike up Vesuvius while in Pompeii. It was hard, but the view/experience was worth it!!
Great tips
Quella infernale strada costiera!
Una conoscente, in viaggio di nozze, in auto vomito' per tutto il tempo, in un sacchetto!
Se amate le spiagge ampie e sabbiose, andate altrove!
My don’t for the Amalfi coast is have to go to the hospital. I had a very severe allergic reaction while there and it was difficult getting to the nearest hospital due to the small winding coastal road and heavy traffic. But then again, it’s a beautiful place to have to visit the hospital and the doctors are great!
Awesome! We decided to stay in Sorrento (mainly bc I lived in NYC for 15 years and didnt want to stay in Naples)
This is great video and thanks for sharing the tips. Do you think 5 days are enough to explore Amalfi Coast? Day-1: Capri, Day-2: Positano, Day-3 Positano Day-4: Boat tour of Amalfi Coast, Day-5: Amalfi, Ravello, Atrani. We are travelling with 2 small kids age 2 and 5. Please advise.
Thank you so much.
I have found driving to be pretty easy. I have been to the Amalfi Coast multiple times and never had an issue. You just need to be a confident driver.
6:27 is that guy 7 feet tall?!
Whoa! Top of my bucket list! One of these days…As always, thank you for sharing 🎉🍾🥂🍹
Some people keep saying that there aren’t any actual Italians in Positano. Well, who lives there then? Foreigners?
Funny how the host is talking about wearing a hat and his bald head is burning in the sun 🌞
How can I have your job? I want your job.
And avoid ordering pineapple pizza because they don't joke about pizza here! 😂😂😂
Man… The next best thing to traveling abroad is watching your videos and day-dreaming about that next trip! Thank you!
I am going to the Amalfi coast in September and after seeing more videos like this, I'm contemplating hiring a driver for the day instead of taking the bus. Does anyone have any advice on how to go about hiring one?
I recommend avoiding completely in August. Not only will you be there there will be Italian tourists and other European tourists. Many many European tourists vacation in August especially Italians. I speak from experience 😊
Hey I'm coming for Christmas. You think that'll be ok climate and weather wise? Thanks 👍
