Clear passport control and collect luggage; meet your pre-booked private transfer or take a taxi. A private car is recommended for a comfortable, romantic start to your honeymoon.
Scenic drive along the Bay of Naples toward Sorrento; private transfer is ~1h–1h20 depending on traffic and is the most comfortable option with luggage and for a honeymoon vibe.
Classic Sorrentine dishes in the historic center; friendly upper‑mid range spot with good service and a romantic atmosphere. (Open roughly 12:00–15:00, 19:00–23:30)
Wander the narrow lanes, shops selling local limoncello and ceramics, then walk down to Marina Grande for sea views — easy, romantic introduction to the coast.
Visit a local producer (e.g., Limonoro or a small lemon farm) for a tasting and short talk about the region's lemon tradition — charming and honeymoon-appropriate. Typical openings 10:00–19:00.
Romantic, refined local cuisine in an intimate setting — great for a special first-night dinner (reserve ahead). Dinner service typically starts 19:00.
Private car ~40–50 minutes and more comfortable with luggage; the Circumvesuviana train is cheaper (~35–40 minutes) but can be crowded. Aim to arrive by 9:00 when the site opens.
One of Italy's most significant archaeological sites — walk preserved streets, villas and frescoes; a guided 2-hour private tour is highly recommended to bring the ruins to life. Site opening in summer is typically 9:00–19:30 (last entry may vary).
If you prefer deeper context, hire a local licensed guide for ~2 hours to highlight the best-preserved houses and mosaics — worth it for honeymoon memories.

Choose a cozy trattoria with views for a relaxed, romantic dinner (book ahead); after dinner either return to Sorrento by private car or stay in Ravello if you prefer. Note: ferries often stop running around 7–8pm, so pre-book a private driver for a late return.
Scenic drive (~1h–1h15). Plan to arrive mid-day to check into your Naples hotel near the historic center — staying in Naples the final night simplifies the very early airport transfer on departure day.
If your room isn't ready, most hotels will hold luggage; choose a hotel near Toledo/Spaccanapoli or the seafront (Lungomare) for atmosphere and easy airport access.
Wander the atmospheric lanes, visit the Duomo and watch artisans at work; this is a raw, lively contrast to the polished coast towns and very memorable.

Choose a romantic restaurant on the seafront or a rooftop with bay views. Options: Palazzo Petrucci (special occasion splurge) or a charming mid‑range seafood trattoria — reserve ahead.
