Day-by-day itinerary

Open a day to read the plan and its spending notes.

  1. Day 1Naples Pizza Pilgrimage and Spaccanapoli
    Naples

    Leave your bags in Naples, then take a manageable walk along Spaccanapoli. Choose a pizzeria by its current menu and queue rather than a promised cheap price. Keep the first evening simple after a long journey.

    €100.00 for one whole private room, €38.00 for meals, €6.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €154.00

  2. Day 2Pompeii Ruins and Archaeological Museum
    Naples

    Give Pompeii the main part of the day. Take a suitable EAV train to Pompei Scavi–Villa dei Misteri and allow more than a short city hop. Choose Express for the main site or Plus for additional areas. Leave MANN for another day.

    €100.00 for one whole private room, €38.00 for meals, €6.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €154.00

  3. Day 3Train to Sorrento and Bay of Naples Views

    Sorrento, Italy

    Travel to Sorrento on an operating EAV service, then walk down to Marina Grande after check-in. Ordinary trains and Campania Express are different products; the latter is suspended from 1 October 2026. Allow time for the uphill return.

    €140.00 for one whole private room, €45.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €202.00

  4. Day 4Path of the Gods Clifftop Hike
    Amalfi Coast

    Amalfi Coast, Italy

    Move to your Amalfi Coast base and leave your bags. A Path of the Gods hike needs transport to Bomerano, suitable conditions and a return from the finish. Keep it as a separate outing instead of combining it with a luggage transfer.

    €180.00 for one whole private room, €50.00 for meals, €10.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €250.00

  5. Day 5Amalfi and Ravello Ferry Day
    Amalfi Coast

    Choose either a properly arranged Path of the Gods outing or a day around Amalfi and Ravello. Bomerano is above the coast; a ferry alone does not reach the trailhead. Ravello also needs an uphill bus and a return plan.

    €180.00 for one whole private room, €50.00 for meals, €10.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €250.00

  6. Day 6Lemon Groves and Departure
    Sorrento

    Return from the coast to Sorrento with enough time for your onward journey. Use an operating ferry or road connection, with a road alternative if boats are cancelled. Include the local train and station transfer if continuing to Naples.

    No overnight stay; €45.00 for meals, €7.00 for local travel and €10.00 for extras. Add the paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport journeys you choose. These are allowances; replace them with your bookings.

    Estimated day spending: €62.00

Put the nights in the right places

Move from Naples to Sorrento and an Amalfi Coast base, then return through Sorrento. Coastal travel uses local trains, buses or ferries. Keep the Path of the Gods as a full outing after settling luggage, with a town day as an alternative.

Plan the visits

Naples · Sorrento · Amalfi Coast. These guides explain the current ticket choices, arrival points and useful areas for a room. Reserve the visits that matter after checking travel days, with arrival afternoons left flexible.

Shorten the trip

Use Naples and Sorrento as two bases if you want fewer transfers.

Build the budget from nights and days

The day figures add up to €1,072.00 for one traveller before the extra costs below. Day notes show accommodation, meals, local travel and small extras. The private-room line buys the whole room; divide only that part when sharing. These are chosen allowances, not measured averages or available room offers. The final day has no extra overnight allowance in the Italian section.

Add paid visits, excursions, intercity tickets and airport travel. Replace the stay amount with the full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning. The city budget cards are an alternative way to plan the same days, so do not add them on top of this subtotal.
