Islands around Naples

Posted by on

We will be in the Amalfi Coast mid-May. We have never been and we are considering staying in Ravello but want to visit Positano, and Capri or one of the other islands. We typically like to avoid crowds and so I have been looking at Procida. Would this be a better and/or similar experience to Capri? Also, what else would you recommend in that area. We are in our 60's and get around really well.

Also, we are thinking that we would be taking a train from Rome and then hire a car and driver to get us around. Thoughts?

Thank you.

Procida is great. It was the island where the academy award winning movie "il postino" (the postman) was filmed. Ischia also is a spa paradise. Ponza is also beautiful, and reachable from Naples, but maybe a bit too far if you stay in Positano.

I think Ischia could be a possibility. In my opinion there is nothing like Capri, although I rarely go there anymore.
