Trip curated by Roman Karin
ExpertThree nights in Sorrento rather than attempting to stay on the Amalfi road keeps the logistics clean and the mornings early, and it's the accommodation call I'd always make here. The boat to Positano before the day-trip crowds and the return before the coastal gridlock builds are both achievable from Sorrento in a way they simply aren't from Amalfi town in peak season. The Naples street food tour covers the Quartieri Spagnoli and the Spaccanapoli with someone who can identify the friggitorie and pizzerie that aren't performing for tourists; in two hours it delivers more of the city's actual character than a standard sightseeing circuit does in a full morning. For Mykonos with five nights, build the schedule around the traditional farm dinner mid-stay rather than the final evening: it orients you to the island's agricultural interior early, and the contrast with the harbor-front tavernas reads more clearly for the remaining days.
