Do we need a car in Amalfi?
We are two couples going to Italy in June, flying into Rome, going immediately to the amalfi coast (Priano) for 1 week. (We would like to go to Pompeii while we are there, and also go to Capri.) We will probably take tours there. Otherwise, just look around the amalfi coast. My question - do we need a car in Amalfi?

I understand Praiano is near Positano, which has excellent public transportation options. I would not want to deal with the expense and hassle of not only driving a car, but parking in the various towns.

If you are willing to deal with lots of traffic and very tight parking spaces in the towns on the AC, get a car. If not.... Take a boat from Positano to Sorrento. Then take the local train to Pompeii, which is only about 30 minutes to the front gate.

The travel logistics on the AC are a complex topic that you need to understand---buy a good guide book and read various trip reports on this site---including mine when we too stayed in Praiano---click on my name above.
Meanwhile, here are my pics from that trip to get you excited.

Where to base ourselves for a few days with a car so we can go to Positano etc. by public transport?
