I will be in the AC for five nights the weekend of the second week of October and arriving to Naples after early the third week of October. I will be basing in Maiori.
I had planned on stopping in Sorrento on my way to Naples for lunch and a short visit, but that almost seems as if it will be more trouble than it's worth. Given where I'd be coming from, it makes more sense to get to Naples from Salerno. In interest of background, the day I will be transitioning to Naples is a Tuesday and the Napolitan sites of interest are closed (Sanservo, MANN, etc.) so I do not have anything to "rush" to and will be touring Pompeii and Herculaneum on other days from Naples.
Before I decide on the direction I want to go, let me know what your favorites about Sorrento are. Favorite attractions? Particular views?
I do not necessarily want to go into a full-on day tour or experience or spend my time in the museum. More to walk around, get something to eat. But, that seems to be a bit "much" in leaving whatever transit I will be coming from, storing luggage, retrieving it, and heading to Naples.
