My husband and i are trying to organize a vacation. We can't decide if we should go to Capri or Positano. Thank you.

for some reason this shows marked as a trip report..

Why not go to both?
They are only a boat ride away from each other..

we stayed at www.villanettunopositano.it
It was fine.

Sorry, i just started using it so i must have clicked trip report by accident. i don't think we have time to go to both. We are only go away for 9 days, and are spending 3 days in Paris. Thanks for your quick response.

you could do 2 days in Capri and 3 in Positano.
Or just take a daytrip to Capri from Positano.

Capri is entirely too crowded and overrun with day trippers. It takes time to see the real beauty of the sland.

I woul d opt for Positano. Thr beauty is immediate and the entire Amalfi Coast is a paradise you don't have to go looking for it. Holiday House Gilda is remarkably located and remarakably priced. We also used Positano Adventure Walks that do a bit of everything very well and in English.

sasha,

A few clariying questions:

9 nights in hotels?

Have you been to Paris before?

What time of year is trip?

We've done the Amalfi Coast, Sorrento, and Capri trip before, and when we do go back, we will base in Positano. A quick boat ride brings you to other coastal towns, and to Capri. If you do go to Capri, make a beeline to Anacapri, the other side of the island. No commercialization and great beauty.

My wife and I just spent 4 nites in each place and loved both. We like to be active. There's a lot to see and do in Capri to fill 3-5 days, assuming you enjoy walking. The day trippers really miss a lot. The Amalfi Coast can be experienced in 3-5 days, too. Again there's a fair amount of walking involved. If we had 6 nites, as it sounds like you might, I'd split my time between them unless you want to see Pompeii which would take a full day from Positano and would make me suggest 2 nites on Capri and 4 in Positano.

Hi Sash,

You are spending 3 days in Paris before flying to Naples, No?

How often have you been to Paris?
