Vesuvius, Capri, Ischia, Sorrento and of course the Amalfi Coast itself which is home to some of the most beautiful sea-side towns in Italy including Positano, Atrani, Conca dei Marini, Ravello and many, many others.<\/p>\n<p>2) You should plan for a full day to see the Amalfi Coast itslef, a full day for Capri, a full day for Pompeii and Naples.<\/p>\n<p>3) We recommend seeing the coast by both boat and by car, but we do not recommend driving on the Amalfi Coast. \u00a0We recommend you either take a day-tour with a small group, or a private tour with a driver, which we think is the best experience because they can get into the places and into towns which the \u00a0bigger buses can&#8217;t go. \u00a0You can see our private tour of the Amalfi Coast here:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.italyvacationspecialists.com\/tours\/amalfi-coast-private.htm\">http:\/\/www.italyvacationspecialists.com\/tours\/amalfi-coast-private.htm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you have 2 + people it ends up being very cost-effective and the experience is unparalleled.<\/p>\n<p>There is so very much to see in this area of Italy and there is so much to enjoy. \u00a0Many people fly through here and don&#8217;t really get a chance to enjoy things at leisure, however we encourage you to spend as much time as you can in the area, since it is one of our favourite areas in Italy, we are sure that it may be yours as well.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery_1' class='gallery galleryid-11 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n                <div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n
