They've dug up a bunch more since the last time I was there. Also taking the ferry across to Capri is nice. There's not a lot to do there, but it's pretty, there are some nice restaurants with good views, and you can either drive tot the top on some hairpin turn roads (that used to have no guard rail, super fun when you see your driver drink from a suspicious looking flask while driving) or do the cable car and spare yourself.

If you're going to be in the area and have not previously done the Amalfi coast, it's worth checking out. Personally, I preferred Amalfi and Sorrento to Capri, which as SEC says is pretty but otherwise not filled with things to do.
And, of course, if you want to shop for Hermes or otherwise hang out with those who have too much money and strong sense of conformity, you can go to Positano too, which is definitely pretty.
The downside of staying here in Amalfi was that on the second day John Tesh was filming a music video on the steps of the Duomo and repeating the same few bars over and over and over again. It was kind of cool to watch them set up, though, as they had to get a grand piano up a few flights of stone steps. |
