Well maybe you should do a daytrip to Capri - the boats run from Naples to the island fairly frequently. When you get to Capri it is fairly easy to explore by bus (still can be crowded but frequent service) or you could take the funicular to Capri town or a boat trip around the island. IMO Capri is like a mini-Amalfi coast - same topography and lovely landscapes. There are some steep climbs but I think you could explore quite a bit without too many challenges. And the logistics will be easier than trying to do the coast unless you decide to join up with others on a small private tour.

The Hop On Hop Off bus of the City Sightseeing Sorrento tours might work for you. It goes along some of the coast around Sorrento (Massa Lubrense and a few other stops) and would have good views. They also offer an Amalfi/Maori route and Amalfi/Ravello from April to October. I think you might get a discount with the Campania Arte Card.

<Well maybe you should do a daytrip to Capri> - I have decided against Capri because of its geography and I'm not interested in Blue Grotto. Thanks for suggestion though.

You read my mind - I was going to look at what might be available from Sorrento. I think this idea may suit me. With the timetabling I can handle this I feel. Thanks for the lead. Been busy researching Florence in the meantime. See my question posted re Florence. Thanks
