 | We spent 7 days based in Sorrento. The weather was fickle (beginning of April) but we still got a few days of amazing sun and blue skies. - Naples - Overwhelming at times, but I understand why people like its vibe. The National Archaeological Museum was interesting, although the piece I wanted to see the most, The Alexander Mosaic, was under restoration. Tip: board the Circumvesuviana at Porta Nolana to avoid the Garibaldi crowds.
- Pompei - If you are passionate about history and archaeology - amazing. If you are a casual traveller like me - just do a short guided tour. We spent 5+ hours there but if I had to do it again I'd just focus on the Forum, one of the houses (Vettii is the most impressive), and the Amphitheater.
- Vesuvius - It can be done on the same day as Pompei. We did it separately because of the weather (cancelled twice because of unfavorable conditions). Very nice views from the top.
- Sorrento, Capri, Positano, Amalfi and nearby towns - We visited the classics and added plenty of walks and hikes, including Castellammare di Stabia, Sant'Agata, Anacapri, Minori, Maiori, the Path of Lemons, Ravello, and most importantly, we walked what was effectively the main goal of this whole trip, the Path of the Gods. Tip: start early to avoid the crowds.
