Sicily & Sorrento

After hearing bad reviews we have decided to fly to Naples.

Bad reviews of what? Sorrento? The ferry? ???

The overnight ferry

Hi,
When I researched my Sicily vacation, to decide how many nights for Taormina, posters seemed to either find it paradise or crowded and expensive. We were happy with our two nights. When you go to Syracuse you will want to stay on the end in Ortygia (love) which is scenic and charming. We went into Syracuse to see the ancient ruins and museum only. Personally I did not like Catania. Perhaps you would enjoy that extra night in Positano as seeing it in the evening will be different than a day visit. Sounds like a lovely trip

Depending on what you want to see, you can fill five days in Sorrento easily. Though I generally recommend taking a couple of those nights and staying in an Amalfi Coast town (Sorrento is not.) day tripping to the Amalfi Coast from Sorrento can be a real drag, and more importantly it is time consuming. If your main sight seeing interests include Naples/Pompeii/Capri/etc. then Sorrento is the right option. But if your main goal is to enjoy some Amalfi Coast beauty and relaxation, then I would stay somewhere on the AC (where exactly is a whole other discussion.) If it helps, you’re traveling to some beautiful places, there’s probably no real wrong way to divy up those days.

Thank you for your replies.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible to travel from Lipari or any other aeolian islands to Naples via ferry?
