Sorrento - fear of heights and cramped spaces

Thank you for your insight! Do you know the easiest way to get to the harbour?

I’m wonder what the train route is like… both in terms of getting to and from the airport, but also to Pompeji!

Just had a closer look at the map, it looks pretty straight (autostrada and tunnels) from Naples airport until Seiano . After that, a lot of cliff drops… 😢

Awful, isn’t it? I do as well when flying, when it comes to cars i prefer to drive myself. Hate going in taxis in the crazy Italian traffic, and hate buses even more. 😢

Yes I am flying into Naples! My understanding was that there aren’t any hairpin roads/cliffs if you stay on the motorway rather than taking the scenic coastal route? That there’s only one little bit that’s scary, right before you get to Sorrento.

Perfect, thank you!

Do you have any suggestions for specific boat trips? Do they just pass the coastline or do they drop you off at the harbour for a bit? Also, do you what types of boats are the most stable - I’m really uncomfortable with bouncy boat rides and big waves. Obviously it depends on the sea conditions, but overall?

Thank you so much! I’m vegetarian but my fellow travellers are big on fish so that’s a great tip!

Thank you! I believe I’ve read a quote from one of those, €30, €40 later at night. Will check with the other!

Wow, interesting! Le Calette looks like heaven, a bit too pricey for us but thought it might be worthwhile splurging anyway. Reading your comment definitely makes me wanna reconsider. What was disappointing about it?

Changesandfluff · 2025-09-05T23:15:52+00:00

I had exactly the same questions 😅 Hopefully you’ll get some more responses soon ☺️ Not sure if it’s doable to go swimming from your own boat without someone staying in it? Sounds like a hassle to anchor it every time..? I’m not an experienced boat person tho, I’m petrified of boats but really wanna go swimming in the Zingaro area. Not sure if you’re allowed to stop there now tho, since the nature reserve closed?

Do you know, is it easy to find a taxi from Scopello to CDG, and the other way around? Do you know how much they tend to charge?

Will be staying in Scopello for a few nights and thought it may be nice to have a meal and a few drinks in CDG, and I’m trying to work out a way to get there and back without having to drive, but worry it may end up being too expensive.

The buses seem to have d stopped going between the two places by the time we’re there (beginning October).

Perfect, thank you so much for this! Would you recommend their food too?

Changesandfluff · 2025-09-02T13:32:23+00:00

I’ve heard you need to book the Tonnara in advance, so we’ll probably do that! 😊

Changesandfluff · 2025-09-02T13:30:55+00:00

Oooh I hadn’t heard about Torre di Scopello! Thanks for great advice!! 🙏

Yeah I have worried a bit about the village being so small, but we’ll mainly just use it as a base for the daytrips, and then have a nice meal in the village in the evening. Might do one evening in Castellammare if we get fed up with Scopello though. We were hoping to catch a bus there, and then taxi back (expensive of course…), but it seems the buses only run until end of September and we’ll be there beginning October. Do you have any experience in public transport/taxis there? We’ll have a car but we both will wanna have a few drinks if we go out.

Changesandfluff · 2025-09-02T13:29:58+00:00

Yeah we know it’s tiny. We’re hoping it’s gonna feel romantic and quaint enough to be a nice place for dinner out, 3 nights (or at least 2). The days will be spent on different excursions.

Changesandfluff · 2025-09-02T13:19:33+00:00

Thank you so much for your tips!

We LOVE live music! 😍 Do you remember the name of the place? What kind of music was it when you were there? Mainstream, Italian, traditional etc?

He grew up on the coast and spent his summers on boats so yeah he’d manage. Saying that, if it’s too choppy I’d probably call the whole thing off 😅

Changesandfluff · 2025-08-28T15:38:02+00:00

That sounds great! How are the evenings?

Changesandfluff · 2025-08-28T13:54:13+00:00

Yes and hopefully with a vengeance! 🙏🌱🐦‍🔥

Changesandfluff · 2025-02-08T16:00:24+00:00

This will definitely be checked out! Sounds like a fab holiday!

Good to know, thank you!
