🥂 WHY POSITANO IS FOR INSTAGRAM, BUT RAVELLO IS FOR THE SOUL 🥂

 🥂 WHY POSITANO IS FOR INSTAGRAM, BUT RAVELLO IS FOR THE SOUL 🥂 (If you are over 50, read this before you plan your itinerary 👇)

Testo: I hear everyone talking about Positano. "Positano is the dream." Is it? Or is it just the most famous hashtag?

If you are 20 years old and want to party on a crowded beach with loud music... go to Positano. But if you are a traveler with taste, who loves silence, elegance, and endless views... your destination should be RAVELLO. 💎

Here is why Ravello is the "Grown-Up" choice:

🧘‍♂️ The Atmosphere: Positano is a vertical bazaar. Chaos, shops, people pushing you. Ravello is a garden in the sky. It is where Wagner wrote his music. It is where Gore Vidal lived. It is peaceful.

🌹 The Villas: You don't just "walk around". You visit Villa Cimbrone and Villa Rufolo. The "Terrace of Infinity" in Villa Cimbrone is arguably the most beautiful view in the entire world. No filter needed.

🍝 The Food: In Positano, many places are "tourist traps" with ocean views and microwaved pasta. In Ravello, the restaurants are family-run, quiet, and serve food that makes you want to cry of joy.

🛑 THE CATCH (And why you need a plan): Ravello is not on the sea. It sits 365 meters above the Amalfi Coast. Getting there is the challenge.

❌ The Bus Option: You have to take a bus to Amalfi, change buses, wait in the heat, and ride up a winding road standing up. Nausea is almost guaranteed. 🤢 ✅ The "Adult" Option: A Private Driver. We drive you up the smooth way. We park. You stroll through the gardens without a drop of sweat. You have a civilized lunch. We drive you back.

💡 MY ADVICE: Stay in Sorrento or by the sea, but dedicate ONE FULL DAY to Ravello. It will be the highlight of your trip.

🛑 CAPRI - DON'T GO TO CAPRI UNTIL YOU READ THIS 🛑 (You are doing it wrong, and it’s costing you a fortune 👇)

🛑 DON'T GO TO CAPRI UNTIL YOU READ THIS 🛑 (You are doing it wrong, and it’s costing you a fortune 👇)

I see the same tragedy unfold every single morning at the port. Couples and families rush to Capri with high hopes, spend €600 in 5 hours, get sunburned, stand in lines for half the day, and come back angry. 😤 It hurts my heart to see you waste your hard-earned money like that.

Let me fix your day trip with these 4 GOLDEN RULES. Read this before you board that ferry. 🧠

❌ MISTAKE #1: The "Blue Grotto" Math. Let’s do the math together. You take a big tourist boat from the port (€20). You arrive at the Grotto. You wait 2 hours floating under the baking sun in a queue of other boats. You finally get in. You stay inside for 3 minutes. The rower asks for a tip. You leave. Is it beautiful? Yes. Is it worth losing 3 hours of your day? No. ✅ The Fix: Rent a Private Boat (Gozzo) with a skipper. (See below! 👇)

❌ MISTAKE #2: Getting Stuck in the "VIP Trap". Most tourists get off the ferry, take the Funicular (huge line), go to the Piazzetta, and sit for a coffee. Surprise! That espresso costs €10-12. It’s the "VIP Tax". You are paying for the seat, not the coffee. ✅ The Fix: Skip the main square. Take a bus or taxi straight to ANACAPRI (the upper town). It’s quieter, more authentic, and cheaper. Pro Tip: Take the Monte Solaro Chairlift 🚠. It’s the single best view of the Gulf of Naples. You fly over gardens and silence.

❌ MISTAKE #3:The Ferry Nightmare. From April to September, ferries don't just "fill up"—they "often" vanish—they vanish. I see families stranded at the port at 6:00 PM crying because the last boat to Sorrento or Naples is sold out. Getting there is easy; getting back is the Hunger Games. ✅ The Fix: Do NOT show up without a return ticket. 👇Look at the FIRST COMMENT for the magic link to secure your round-trip ticket online right now! 

❌ MISTAKE #4: Walking the wrong way. Capri is steep. If you try to walk from the port to the center with flip-flops, you will hate your life. ✅ The Fix: Use the convertible taxis if you have the budget (it's an experience!), or buy the daily bus ticket immediately. But be warned: the buses are tiny and crowded. Patience is the key.

💡 MY FINAL ADVICE: Capri is not about checking boxes on a list. It's about the atmosphere. Don't be a tourist running after a photo. Be a traveler enjoying the sea.

🍋SORRENTO IS NOT THE AMALFI COAST (AND THAT'S WHY IT'S BETTER) 🚨

🍋SORRENTO IS NOT THE AMALFI COAST (AND THAT'S WHY IT'S BETTER) 🚨 (Stop making this expensive geography mistake 👇)

👁️I see this error in every single booking request. "Hi Sal, I want to stay on the Amalfi Coast, so I booked a hotel in Sorrento."

🛑 Reality Check: Technically? You are wrong. Sorrento is on the Sorrentine Peninsula, facing Naples. It is NOT the Amalfi Coast. Strategically? You might be a genius. 🧠

Here is why choosing the "Wrong Coast" might save your vacation:

🚆 The Train Factor The Amalfi Coast (Positano/Amalfi) has NO trains. Zero. You are stuck with buses or expensive taxis. Sorrento has a direct train line to Pompeii and Naples. You have freedom.

🚢 The Ultimate Hub Sorrento is the center of the universe. You have ferries to EVERYWHERE: Capri (20 min), Ischia (50 min), Naples (30 min), AND Positano (40 min). Don't waste time stressing at the ticket office in the heat! 🥵👇 LOOK BELOW: I put the magic link to compare prices and book all ferries in the FIRST COMMENT! 🚢

💸 The Price Tag A Spritz in Positano: €15-18. 🍹 A Spritz in Sorrento: €5-8. The view is different, but your wallet will thank you.

👠 You Can Actually Walk Positano is vertical. You climb. Sorrento is (mostly) flat. You stroll. You can wear nice shoes without needing an orthopedic surgeon the next day.😉

⚖️ THE VERDICT: Visit Positano for the Instagram Photo. 📸 Sleep in Sorrento for Peace of Mind . 🧘‍♂️

🛑 STOP TREATING NAPLES LIKE A WAITING ROOM 🛑 (Dangerous? Dirty? Or the only real place left?)

 🛑 STOP TREATING NAPLES LIKE A WAITING ROOM 🛑 (Dangerous? Dirty? Or the only real place left?)

 I hear this question 10 times a day: "Hi Sal, is Naples safe? Can we skip it and go straight to Sorrento?"

Here is my honest answer. And some of you won't like it. If you skip Naples, you haven't seen Italy. You've just seen a resort. 🇮🇹

Let’s look at the facts: ❌ ** The Stereotype:** "Naples is chaotic, loud, and gritty." ✅ The Truth: Yes, it is. And that is exactly why it’s magic.

While you rush to the Amalfi Coast to pay €18 for a frozen pizza and sit next to your neighbor from London... In Naples: 🍕 The pizza costs €5 and it changes your life. 🎨 The art is on the walls, in the metro, and in the people. ☕ The coffee is a religion, not a drink. ❤️ The people will talk to you, help you, and feed you.

The Amalfi Coast is a beautiful postcard. ✨ Naples is a Movie. 🎬

My advice? Don't use Naples just as an airport or a train station. Give it 2 days. Get lost in Spaccanapoli. Eat the sfogliatella. Stop being scared of "reality" and start traveling.

Haters will say it's dangerous. Travelers know it's pure soul.

🛑 10 MISTAKES I MADE ON THE AMALFI COAST (SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO) 🛑

 🛑 10 MISTAKES I MADE ON THE AMALFI COAST (SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO) 🛑

Let me save you stress, money, and possibly a herniated disc. I learned these lessons the hard way... here is everything I did wrong, so you can do it right. 👇

🚗 I drove myself. Big mistake. That road isn’t "scenic"—it’s a survival test. Cliffs on one side, buses inches from your mirror on the other. Unless you have nerves of steel, skip the drama.

🔢 I didn’t know the License Plate Rule. Did you know plates control when you can drive? 🛑 Odd plate on odd date? BANNED. 🛑 Even plate on even date? BANNED. Break the rule? You get fined €500. Not worth it.

🅿️ I thought parking would be easy. Spoiler: It doesn’t exist. I found a spot at Luna Rossa (carved into a rock) for €5/hour or €45/day. But strict check-out times, height limits, and confusing rules turned it into a logistical maze.

🚧 I booked a hotel inside a ZTL (Restricted Zone). Google Maps said "5 minutes away." It didn't mention the 900 uneven stone steps. Dragging luggage uphill in the heat made me look like I had climbed Vesuvius.

🔥 I went in July. I expected a vacation; I got a heatstroke simulator. 38°C, packed streets, and half of Europe squeezing past you. Pro Tip: Go in late September. The weather is perfect, and you can actually breathe.

📍 I stayed in Amalfi Town. Beautiful, but chaotic and expensive. I should have based myself in Sorrento (or even Naples!) and used ferries to explore. It’s strategic, outside the ZTL madness, and way more relaxing.

🏖️ I tried to relax at the main beach. Marina Grande is right next to the ferry dock—meaning it’s loud, crowded, and not peaceful. Next time? I’m heading to Maiori or Minori  for space or the hidden cove of Erchie for magic.

🚌 I relied on the bus. I relied on the bus. Since I couldn't drive, I waited by the roadside. Five flew past me full. The one that stopped was a sauna on wheels. It took an hour to move 5km. Honestly? I would have paid double for a private transfer just to have AC and a seat.

🚤 I didn't rent a boat. The biggest regret. The Coast is meant to be seen from the water. You can rent a small dinghy without a license—no traffic, just cliffs and freedom.

👠 I wore the wrong shoes. Flip-flops and cute wedges? Useless. This region is made of steep stairs and slippery cobblestones. By day one, I had blisters. Pack real walking shoes or suffer!

💾 SAVE THIS POST for your trip planning! It might not be glamorous to talk about mistakes, but this list will save your holiday.
