Destination Known | Amalfi Coast: Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Capri

We did 3 day trips to the below from Sorrento via the hop-on hop-off red bus. 

Amalfi + Ravello

Tour Museo de la Carta - This printing press is where paper was first made in Europe. It's a bit of trek through Amalfi but well worth it. Wonderful gift shop for any stationary lovers. 

Take the double-decker bus from Amalfi center up the hill to stunning Ravello (15 min).

Explore Ravello's gardens @ Villa Cimbrone

Take in Ravello's views or catch a concert @ Villa Rufolo

Capri

We rode the ferry from Sorrento and hired a capri convertible taxi for the day (150 euro) who toured us around the island. It was one of the more relaxing and enjoyable days I can remember. 

(splurge) Stay @ La Minerva - boutique hotel

(splurge) Stay @ Capri Palace Hotel - my best friend from hs had her wedding here and recommends it 100x over

Sun All Day @ La Fontelina Beach Club + Restaurant - Reserve this pinterest destination for umbrellas and lunch well in advance - a month if at all possible and arrive early on the day of to reserve a prime day bed location

Lunch or Dinner @ Da Giorgio – It was quiet for lunch but amazing view, food, and staff

Lunch @ Le Grotelle – 20 - 40 minute hike up to this simple, but lovely restaurant housed in caves dug into the rock with panoramic views

Boat and/or swim in the grottos - Hire a private boat or go with a tour from the harbor where the ferry drops off to explore these 3 magical water caves - blue, green, white grottos

Ride the Chairlift up Mont Solaro in Anacapri - Catch the 12 minute lift from the Piazza Vittoria in Anacapri (or make the 1 hour hike) to the top where the views (yes, they're mentioned a lot) are AH-mazing

Shop in Capri and Anacapri - I bet I didn't have to tell you that. Leather sandals are a MUST.

Positano

Stay @ Le Sirenuse - The brunch buffet at this hotel is beyond.  And the champagne and oyster bar is gorgeous w/ some of the very best views. Fun, lively crowd and DJ.

Dinner w/o view @ Da Vincenzo 

Dinner w/ a view @ Bar Bruno

Sun All Day @ Arienzo Beach Club or Da Adolfo Beach Club - Reserve chairs at least a day in advance and catch the small boat to the beach club from the main pier in Positano beginning at 10a. Don't make the mistake of not trying the fish specials - I still regret not ordering the grilled calamari at Arienzo.
