Itineraries
Campania with kids — a seven-day plan
Where to sleep, what to skip, and the day-by-day that keeps small humans happy.
Base in Sorrento
Sorrento is the most kid-friendly town on the bay — flat centre, gelaterias everywhere, ferries to everything, two pedestrian beaches with shallow water. The Circumvesuviana to Pompeii is 25 minutes; the ferry to Capri 30 minutes.
Days 1–2: Sorrento centre, Bagni della Regina Giovanna. Day 3: Pompei (morning only). Day 4: Capri (whole day). Day 5: Ferry to Positano. Day 6: Path of the Lemons walk (Maiori to Minori, flat, 45 min). Day 7: rest day, gelato, pool.
