We are doing a cruise that stops in Salerno. We are scheduled to be there 7 AM - 6 PM.
My goal is to get to Positano for the day. Unfortunately, the ships excursion there are for a half day, and I'd really like to get to Positano and stay as long as we can.
Questions:
1) Any experience with the ferries? There are plenty of options if I was going this month; however, our trip is late October, and there is only one schedule that doesn't have a return time that works. Any chance the ferry schedules just aren't set this far out? If so, this would be a no brainer. I'm concerned that it's off season, though, and that's not going to be an option.
2) Since I can make the outgoing ferry easily, and think that would be fun anyway, any experience with one way trips from Positano to Salerno? Private cars are a little more than was hoping to spend, but it may be an option. Would there be a day of option? Could I just wing it and be OK or should I book something ahead of time?
3) There IS an Isle of Capri option that is all day from Salerno, provided by the cruise. I prefer Positano to Capri, but talk me out of that, I'm all ears.. I hear great things about both, but just seems Positano gets the nod, and Capri might be a little too touristy?
