Agreed, I'd avoid Naples. Naples is where I was taught to leave car doors unlocked so you didn't get your windows broken. And if you obeyed traffic rules, that mean negative things about your maternal provenance. People in Rome drive like me, people in Naples, I want to know who has the turret.

Just eat anywhere that there aren't many tourists. If there is a selfie stick being sold, anywhere you're at, within 100m, keep walking.

Sitting in the airport in Rome (FCO) after 3 days in Rome, 3 days in Capri, 4 days in Positano, back to Rome for one night.

Took the train from Rome to Naples, then took the ferry to Capri for 2 nights. AnaCapri is worth seeing and the chair lift is cool, but you can see it in one day. A day trip ferry is plenty.

Positano was a perfect home base for Amalfi. We did a boat tour w Positano Boat Tours that stopped in Amalfi (town) for a few hours. That was enough.

Took buses for a day trip to Ravello for a few hours. That was enough.

As others have said, when in Rome, pay for the “skip the line” tickets. After waiting in line to enter the Vatican, as you’re leaving the Sistine Chapel, tours go right and individuals go left. Tours are able to go directly to St Peters Basilica, while individuals are routed to another line that stretched all the way around St Peters Square to gain access to the Basilica.

Plenty of info here, but happy to share more.

Good luck in July. We had absolutely perfect weather and we were ahead of the “busy season”. July will be hot and busy. Book everything now.
