  • Day 1

    Castellammare di Stabia to Procida

    Begin your journey from Castellammare di Stabia, located 30 minutes south of Naples. The 2-hour sail to Procida gives you great views of Naples and Mount Vesuvius. Stop at Corricella bay with its beautiful cascade of pastel fishing houses. A recent visitor shared: "The sunset view of Procida's harbor from the water is unforgettable—get your camera ready around 7 PM when the buildings glow orange."

    
  • Day 2

    Ischia

    Take a quick 45-minute morning sail to Ischia. Stop at San Pancrazio Bay for a swim before visiting the natural thermal pools at Sorgeto Bay. Bring water shoes as the rocks near the pools can be slippery. Get to Forio port by 4 PM to avoid strong afternoon winds. The Santa Maria del Soccorso church sits 25 minutes uphill but offers incredible views of the coast.

    
  • Day 3

    Capri

    The 2-hour trip from Ischia to Capri takes you past the beautiful Punta Carena lighthouse. Drop anchor in Marina Piccola bay. Visit the island later in the day after the crowds leave—the Piazzetta becomes much more enjoyable after 6 PM. It takes about 20 minutes to walk up to town from Marina Piccola.

    
  • Day 4

    Positano

    Sail past the Li Galli islands on your way to Positano. After anchoring in the bay, take your tender to shore. Start your day at La Zagara pastry shop before it gets busy. You will need good walking shoes for Positano's steep streets. If you want to eat at La Sponda, book several weeks in advance.

    
  • Day 5

    Amalfi

    Amalfi is just 30 minutes away by boat. Take a tour of the unique terraced lemon groves. Get to port before 11 AM to watch fishermen with their morning catch. Visit the cathedral later in the day when the crowds thin out. Weather permitting, stop for a swim at Recommone's caves.

    
  • Day 6

    Sorrento

    Sail around Punta Campanella to Sorrento. Plan to arrive by noon since the marina gets rough in afternoon winds. The town center is a 10-minute uphill walk. Try a morning pizza-making class to avoid the crowds.

    
  • Day 7

    Pompeii

    Complete your trip with Pompeii, near Castellammare di Stabia. Get to the ruins at opening time (9 AM) to beat the heat and crowds. Take plenty of water and sun protection since the ruins offer little shade.

  • Days 1-3

    Rome

    Book a private transfer from Fiumicino Airport to skip Rome's busy morning traffic. Stay near Termini Station in the historic center for easy access to attractions and your later train to Naples. A previous visitor noted: "The central location saved us time and money on taxis, though the street noise takes getting used to." Plan Day 2 around Rome's main sites. Visit the Colosseum first to avoid midday heat in summer. Schedule the Vatican Museums for early afternoon when crowds are lighter. Your evening is free to discover local restaurants in Trastevere. On Day 3, explore at your own pace. Book the Borghese Gallery for 9AM, then walk through Villa Borghese park to reach the Spanish Steps. Spend your afternoon shopping on Via del Corso or trying authentic restaurants in the Jewish Ghetto.

    
  • Day 4

    Rome to Sorrento Coast

    Take a high-speed train to Naples (1.5 hours) and stop at Pompeii on your way to Vico Equense. One visitor shared: "The Pompeii guided upgrade was worth it - there's minimal signage and it's easy to miss the key sites without context." Plan 2-3 hours for Pompeii and wear good walking shoes on the uneven streets.

    
  • Day 5

    Amalfi Coast Drive

    Visit Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello. Leave early to beat heavy summer traffic. Pack motion sickness medication if needed for the winding roads. Use Positano's shuttle bus to reach the beach instead of walking uphill in the heat.

    
  • Day 6

    Free Day

    Choose between exploring more coastal spots or taking a 20-minute ferry to Capri. Book a boat tour to see the coast from the water. The Circumvesuviana train offers easy access to Sorrento from Vico Equense.

    
  • Day 7

    Departure

    Leave plenty of time for your transfer to Naples Airport - at least 90 minutes. Road accidents can cause delays on the coastal route. The airport express bus from Naples Central Station works well as a backup plan.

    Land in Naples and head straight to Pompeii. Plan to arrive around 10 AM to beat the crowds and hot weather. A 2-hour guided tour will cover the main sites.

After Pompeii, it's a 1-hour drive to Sorrento where you'll spend your first night.

    
  • Day 2

    Amalfi Coast Drive

    Take the scenic coastal road from Sorrento through Positano, Amalfi and Ravello. The full route with stops takes about 3 hours. Leave early before the roads get busy at 10 AM.

  • Day 4

    Sorrento to Capri

    Book an early morning ferry to Capri. The ride takes 30 minutes but afternoon trips sometimes get canceled in strong winds. When you arrive at Marina Grande, the port staff will handle your luggage transfer to your hotel.

    
  • Day 5

    Capri Exploration

    Take a morning walk through Capri's streets. A recent visitor noted: "Walking through the Gardens of Augustus offered incredible views of the Faraglioni rocks—go before 11 AM when tour groups arrive." For more great views, take the chairlift up to Monte Solaro in Anacapri.

    
  • Day 6

    Capri By Sea

    Spend your morning shopping on Via Camerelle or visiting the Blue Grotto. Get to the Blue Grotto early to avoid long lines. In the evening, take a boat tour around the island. Book a sunset trip that leaves 2 hours before sunset for the best light and calmer waters.

    
  • Day 7

    Capri to Naples

    Take a morning ferry back to Naples. The journey takes about an hour. Book your flight home for the afternoon since morning traffic between the port and airport can be unpredictable. The airport transfer usually takes 30 minutes without traffic.
