Hello! My husband and I are visiting the Amalfi Coast for the first time this June and have one day slotted to explore the coast. (We'll be staying in Sorrento, spending the partial travel day in Sorrento, next day exploring exploring the coast, and last day in Capri. We plan to do Pompeii en route to Rome when we leave.)
I'm trying to plan the Amalfi coast day where we'd get to see Positano, Amalfi, Ravello and hopefully Salerno if it's not too far out of the way. I was looking at a private driver, but a bit too expensive so I think we'll be relying on the bus and ferries (maybe a taxi for part of the trip?)
we'd like to swim and do some hiking, but not sure where...from what I've read Positano has the best beaches and you want to hit the beach early before the sun is hidden by the cliffs, so I was thinking we'd bus to Positano and hit the beach first, then stop for a good lunch there. So does anyone know...which of the two public beaches in Positano is the best to swim in, and do they have showers to rinse off and change into dry clothes? Is there a good place to eat in Positano that allows people in who maybe have wet hair from the beach? (I don't know if they're relaxed about that sort of thing.) from there I was thinking we'd head to Amalfi after lunch and hike up to Ravello by foot, then back to Amalfi, and then on to Salerno via taxi or bus. Probably no more swimming after Positano. Anything I'm missing? Any must-do's, better hikes, better swimming, can't miss food stops, etc? Also, what's the best way to travel from place to place?. if we splurge for a taxi between 2 towns to ensure we can see the amazing views (I know you don't always get window seats on the bus), where should that be done? I know I have a million questions, but I so appreciate any help. Thank you so much!! I'm so excited, how will I ever wait until June?! :)
