Capri and Amalfi coast from Naples

Lesley, you can take a ferry to Capri from Naples. This is the current schedule:

From Capri you can take another ferry to Amalfi or Salerno but as you will see it's time consuming and runs are limited:

IMHO, Capri really needs a full day to explore. I personally wouldn't recommend trying to do that one + Amalfi in a day, and would only take a ferry onward to Salerno if intending on taking a train back to Naples.

We've taken a high-speed ferries from Naples to Capri and Capri to Sorrento, and between Sorrento and Positano. I don't know as I'd call the view "beautiful" - it's somewhat restricted from inside the hydofoils - but it's good enough.

Thanks Kathy!
