Naples is a s--thole but it does have some redeeming qualities. For example all of the artifacts recovered from Pompeii and Herculaneum were put in a museum in Naples.

I would base in Sorrento for that portion and do day trips to Naples, Pompeii, Capri and Positano using trains and ferries. You could also hike the Path of the Gods or maybe go up to Vesuvius, depending on the kids stamina I suppose.

It's tough to miss Florence, but the kids probably have zero interest in Renaissance art and regional wine anyway.

Firenze is IMHO the best city there, but in the summer, with kids. Yea no way. The hoards of Chinese might trample your kids.

Sincerely appreciate all the feedback!

Will probably make Sorrento home base for our time in that Naples - Amalfi area now.
