Sorrento can make Pompeii, Naples, Capri, and coast access easier. Positano is visually powerful but can mean stairs and transfer limits. Amalfi and Ravello create different walking and ferry patterns.<\/p>\n<p>A tour that includes Pompeii needs a realistic day plan. A coast route that relies on ferries needs seasonal checks. A route that uses private road transfers should explain pickup points, luggage handling, and how road delays are handled.<\/p>\n<p>Future ToursZoom listings should make access visible before mood.
