"Not really. You can get the ferry to Capri from positano for a day trip, but Capri is small and super busy. The big cruise ships can’t drop off in Positano but they can in Sorrento so it’s more touristy. Positano is simply stunning."

"Wils/ludo of you’re doing the amalfi coast, make sure you see Ravello and don’t bother with Sorrento. Go to positano instead."

"Wils stick to mainland Italy as Sicily isn't anything special Montreal is nice but boring,Palermo is shit,Mount Etna is definitely worth a trip,driving out there is like a 3rd world country not Europe"

Wils - definitely worth a trip. I think they have uncovered quite a bit more since I last went. My children are a lot older (youngest is 16) and want to go. If it's a very hot day then I would suggest you don't try and see it all with your six year old as could be too much... just spend a couple of hours there. We were pretty much left to our own devices to wander around and I don't remember there being anywhere to get food / drinks though that has probably changed but take plenty of water!

"ludo21 ""Went to Pompei 30 years ago but will go again with the kids."" I have never been. Presuming that you are going back its worth the effort. My youngest is 6, think she will get much out of it?"

Going to Amalfi Coast. Went to Pompei 30 years ago but will go again with the kids. While they are lying in the sun I intend to spend a couple of days following in the footsteps of my Grandad in 1943/4. I have got a copy of his units War Diary so will visit some of the places and pay my respects at Minturno Cemetary.

"goose wrote... ""whereabouts?"" Whereabouts in Sicily? We are renting a flat in Palermo and taking trips up to Mondello, Cefalu, Monreale etc. But Flying into Rome to see the sights there and making our way down to Naples Pompei and maybe Sorrento before taking the ferry to Palermo."

Aalborg - was planning a trip to IOW and just checked the ferry prices... you're right they're extortionate. £410 for a return with a car (for a 22 minute crossing from Lymington) but the amazing thing is they all seem to be booked out a month in advance. Crazy!

Isle of Wight last week - just like stepping back 30 years -shame about the atrocious ferry fares - the most expensive in the world mile for mile - it's strangling the island's businesses - we're returning in October but only because we got ferry vouchers. Off for a week's fishing in Norfolk in July - looking forward to it
