Day trips from Positano: 5 epic adventures

Some day trips repay the early train. Plenty don't. These 5 day trips from Positano are the ones that earn the hours, and each comes with an honest note on what you're really getting.

Book a TripCapri★ Tip: First ferry 8:30am, arrive before cruise ships. Reverse the touristy route: funicular up to Capri Town, chairlift up Monte Solaro, walk down. Skip the Blue Grotto unless seas are calm: choppy water = closed. Directions
Amalfi + Ravello★ Tip: Pair the Infinity Terrace with lunch at Cumpa' Cosimo in Ravello (classic mama-style trattoria). Last ferry Amalfi→Positano around 5pm; last bus around 8pm. Directions
Book a TripPompeii★ Tip: If DIY: start at 7:30am to be at Pompeii by 10am, beats the heat + bus tour groups. Buy tickets online morning-of. Carry 2L water. Skip the cheap «free guides» at the entrance: they take you to the same 5 spots. Directions
Sorrento★ Tip: Combine with Pompeii (Sorrento is the Pompeii train hub) for a full active day. Or just take the half-day to shop the leather + limoncello + inlaid wood the Positano boutiques don't carry. Directions
Furore Fjord★ Tip: Get off the bus at «Marina di Furore» stop. The descent to the beach is 100 steps. Best 10am-3pm (the sun reaches the bottom of the gorge only at midday). Bring water + your own snack. Directions
