Amalfi coast:Positano or Ravello?

Question

Hi,

i am planning a honeymoon vacation in the amalfi coast region in october.

i am not sure how to divide my time in the region.Should i be spending 3 days in positano and 2 or 3 days in ravello/amalfi.

or should i base myself out of positano and cover the entire region?

Would i be able to make a day trip to pompie from positano?

I have kept 3 days for capri.

Please suggest

Answer 1

go to positao not far from everything u want to do

Answer 2

I would base yourself in Positano, and then go from there: the weather is the same, but there are fewer tourists and hotels cost less.

And yes, Pompeii is nearby and easily accessible from Positano.

Answer 3

Amalfi is far more popular than Positano. I would spend more tiem there.

Answer 4

Amalfi and postitano are a short distance away very scenic very pretty - all beaches a long walk down & back and not very sandy - The island of Capri is also pretty close depends what you wat really !  all very pretty very friendly

Answer 5

We stayed in a beautiful hotel in Ravello called Hotel Giordano that had rooms beatifully decorated in local tile. There is a 5-star there called Hotel Palumbo that has beautiful views. There is a beautiful garden there as well that looks out over the water, although I am not sure what will be blooming in October. And don't forget to drink the Limoncello!!! (Best chilled) Before you go, try to rent "It Started in Naples" with Sophia Loren and Clark Gable. It is filmed mostly on Capri and you will find that little has changed since then!!

Answer 6

Alright, well I have been to all the places you've mentioned, this is what I suggest: spending 3 days in Capri sounds good because once you're there, you can't really get around. While you are on the island of Capri you can go shopping ( obviously), go to the beach, visit around.. it's just so beautiful there and expensive! hehe  Secondly, whether you decide to stay a bit in Ravello or Amalfi or even Positano it will not be a big problem for you to get around because just by taking a bus or a taxi in about 20 mins you'll get from Ravello to Amalfi ( for example) or Positano to Amalfi... What matters the most between those 3 places is that you find the best place where you would like to stay. Here's a suggestion www.puntacivita.it

This is a bed & breakfest in Ravello, the place where I stayed at for 3 days last summer, just amazing. The people were very nice and it simply had a great feel to it! Getting to Pompei from either one of those 3 places will not be too hard because you can just take a bus in the morning and another one at night.. Pompei is a must see, keep one day to visit it! It's a spectacular sight once you're there, I really mean that : )  If ever you want any suggestions of other places to see around the region or places where you wanna shop, or just whatever, you can contact me, it would be a pleasure! I've always said that the Amalfi Coast is one of the most beautiful places on earth and I don't know if you've ever been, but you certainly won't regret it!  Enjoy it, it truly is unforgettable
