Options near Sorrento for half day?

My mom and I will be in Sorrento for 3 days before heading about an hour away toward Tramonti. We’ll leave our luggage at our hotel in Sorrento and will have the morning until early afternoon for exploring. Does anyone have recommendations? Capri is the obvious choice, and I’m considering it, but a tourist trap is not ideal. Thank you!

Pompeii or Naples or ferry along AC (depends when this trip is)
Or just wander around Sorrento

Capri is full of tourists but I wouldn’t call it a tourist trap

Have you figured out how you will get to Tramonti?

You’ll have done Pompeii but how about Herculaneum? It’s really good, quite different from Pompeii, and not as large a site so you could do it in the time you have. I’ve been to Capri and liked it, but that was many years ago in the winter so it wasn’t crowded then. I wouldn’t suggest going there unless you have a full day for the excursion.
