Amalfi

We are planning a trip to Amalfi Coast. Our plan is to stay first, 2 days in Ravello, than 4 days in Capri, and finally 3 days in Positano. We like to see different places, that's why we are planning to rent a car. <BR>My question is, parking? Will it be very costly, and inconvinient? And also we will rent the car from the airport in Naples, and as far as I understand the only place to return it is also in Naples. That's why we need a parking place while we are in Capri. <BR>DO you have any suggestion? We couldn't find any solution... Thanks in advance...

How about starting out in Capri? Arrange for transportation from Naples to Capri. Then once you've spent your time there, go to Sorrento to pick up your rent car, driving to Positano & Ravello (or vice versa). OR reverse this itinerary: pick up your car and do Ravello/Positano first; turn in the car (again I think it may be easier to pick up/return in Sorrento) and finish up in Capri.<BR><BR>Parking in any of the Amalfi coast towns can be a challenge, particularly if visiting during summertime.

Spare yourself the misery: don't take the car to Capri! Along the Amalfi Drive, a car is certainly useful, but not a complete necessity.

Just returned from there & had a car. You can drive to Ravello (take the motorway down rsather than slow coast road as you'll see that on the way back anyway) Drive to Positano and park there (couple of garages at the bottom of the hill near the beach), from where you can get a direct boat to Capri (9am I think - but check while you're in Ravello) Return to Positano again by boat. On the way back to Naples, you can call into Sorrento if you fancy it, or better still - spend 3-4 hours in Pompei before returning to Naples airport

Cumpa Cosimo in Ravello, definitely. It's on the Via Roma, but just look for the signs on the main square in Ravello. Fun ambiance and amazing food. Go hungry, the portions are huge, and the owner, Nette, is so great. Make reservations if possible, it gets packed.

The Terrace (?) restaurant in Positano. It's at the end of the beach, stuck the side of the mountain overlooking the beach. Fairly expensive & have to book, but well worth it. Also have a very cool bar/night club downstairs that's apparently frequented by the stars (if you like that sort of thing)
