You step out of a luxury minivan on a warm Sorrentine morning and the sea announces itself first—salty air and a horizon cut by squat, wind-swept Faraglioni. Over three days the trip moves from ash-stiff ruins to sun-baked cliff roads and then to the citrus-scented lanes of Capri, folding a wide sweep of Campania’s coastline into a single, pacy itinerary.

Book early for the Blue Grotto
The Blue Grotto has limited entry windows; plan the Capri boat day early in the morning to avoid long waits and low-tide closures.
Wear sturdy shoes at Pompeii
Pack closed-toe walking shoes with good grip—ancient streets are uneven and can be dusty or slippery after rain.
Bring a dry bag for the yacht
Protect electronics and a spare set of clothes from spray; a small dry bag keeps items safe during swims and cave visits.
Carry local cash
Small restaurants, markets and chairlifts sometimes prefer cash, so keep euros on hand for quick purchases and tips.
