Looking for some feedback about choosing a base for the Amafi Coast
Is it better to stay in Naples for 3 nights and use that as a base to go to Capri and Amalfi town/Ravello. Or, stay in Naples 2 nights and stay in Salerno 1 night.
I'll be flying into Rome airport around lunchtime, and then taking the train to Naples.
So, after arriving in Naples that first day, I don't have much planned- just recover from jet lag, walk Spaccanapoli, and get some Neopolitan pizza. That'll be my first night in Naples.
The second day, go to Capri as a daytrip from Naples. Sorrento would be closer to Capri, but an hour ferry from Naples to Capri doesn't seem that bad. And, after looking at hotel prices for Florence and Venice, I'm trying to save some money by choosing cheaper Naples hotels than the Sorrento hotels. That'll be the second night in Naples.
But, for the third day, I want to see Capri town and Ravello and take the ferry to see the Amalfi Coast. I could also do that from Naples, but Salerno has more ferries to Amalfi compared to Naples.
So, does it make sense to change hotels for 1 night and stay overnight in Salerno for that? Or, just stay in Naples to avoid the hassle of moving hotels?
And, after those 3 nights, I'll be going to Florence so both Naples and Salerno have both high speed, direct connections to Florence.
Thanks
