My parents, 9 year old son and I will be staying in Sorrento for 5 nights. We would like to take a day trip to Agropoli and Paestum or vice versa from Sorrento. What is the best way to travel to both towns? Ideally we would like to visit Agropoli first then head to Paestum to see the ruins and maybe head to the beach for a while. We have no time restraints as long as transportation is available. Any information is appreciated.

I can only answer part of your question. I've not been to Agropoli. From Sorrento I've taken the Circumvesuviana to Pompeii. It's a fairly easy walk across town to the 'other' train station but there are lots of taxis glad to give you a ride. Trains to Paestum are not very frequent so I'd check schedules on line as you plan. The ruins are truly amazing. Paestum used to be right on the beach - you'll find the geography has changed, it isn't so close any more. I'd be thankful if anyone knows a better way to get to Paestum. It did seem long. Thanks for the reminder - it's time to revisit Paestum!
