Rome to Naples is about 232km, train takes around 2 hours.
Hyrofoil to Capri takes about 25 minutes.
hello,
Last year enjoyed my vacations in this region - fantastic places :-)
Sorrento to Capri - the best is by ferry, for sure. they go every 40 minutes, and the price is 8.80 Euro one way. The trip takes 30-40 minutes.
Sorrento to Naples - i went by bus from the Naples airport. It took one and a half hour becasue of the traffic jams (on the weekends lots of people were going to the beach and cars were parked on the road blocking part of it). but trains are also available (see the link below)
For Rome is better to take train. You can get by train to Naples and take a Eurostar of Alta velociata train to Rome. all time tables you can find at the site:

have a great trip,
Yulia
The only trains from Naples to Sorrento are those listed on the Circumvesuviana site. As it's a privately-owned line its timetables do not appear on the Trenitalia site.
There are buses, but they are prone to traffic congestion (and there is plenty of that). Trains to Naples (and Pompeii/Herculaneum/Villa Poppea etc) are frequent, cheap and by far the easiest way to travel.
Just got back from Sorrento last Sunday. The Circumvesuvia was running well about every 30 mins between Naples and Sorrento & vice versa. €3.20 each way, less for Pompeii etc stops.
To Capri there is a fast ferry from Sorrento 07:45, 09:25, 14:30, 19:00 takes 25 mins for €8.80 each way. Also a Jetfoil much more frequently takes 20 mins and is €12.50 each way.
I believe the Autolinee Marozzi runs Sorrento to Rome 06:00 & 17:00 and takes 4 hours, no info on the fare on that one.
thanks everybody
Looking across the "canyon" like divide in town, we admired the buildings on the embankment. Imagine they would have a spectacular view of the town as well as the bay. Lacey curtain at the window, plants on the balcony, a little bread and wine, camera constantly ready...a few friends gathered to enjoy the end of the day...I could manage a few months of living this way.
The Ristorante Taverna Azzurra is located just at the shores of the Marina Grande. Actually, my companions & I happened to bump into this restaurant because we were staying in the Marina Grande area.
Gladly we were not disappointed with the food in this restaurant. The owner & son mans the restaurant and both are jolly & greet you with open arms. The seafood is fresh and well prepared so we were always getting a great meal albeit more expensive than average. Photos of Italian celebrities line the walls of the restaurant but the owners are down to earth
There are the usual pasta dishes, seafood menu and steaks. I recommend the seafood e.g seafood platter, scampi, shrimps, fish & calamari
We ate here like 3 times during our trip, and spent our new years here too The seafood spaghetti is probably the best I've ever tried. Other favorites include the fried calamari and fresh bruchetta
Find a lovely cafe and enjoy the views across the bay of Naples while sipping Limoncello the local drink (made from lemons). You will find some lemona nd orange orchards if you venture a little out of town.
The seaside resort of Marina di Cantone near Nerano is well worth a visit. It has a nice beach girded by the green hills and rocky mountains. There are a few local posh seafood restaurants with own landing stage for the luxury boats. Especially on sunday it is the perfect place for people watching.
I stayed in Sorrento May 2006 for a week and would highly recommend it as a perfect base for exploring the area. The Amalfi Coast towns, Capri, Herculaneum, Mt. Vesuvius and Pompeii were all reached easily by public transportation. The weather was phenomenal. Add the food and wines of the region and let me tell you - it's paradise.
There's lots of information about the area at this link:

The town of Amalfi was reached by Sita bus from Sorrento. Sit up front if possible for the best views as the bus winds along the steep cliffs and through tiny towns. The airhorn rings out to warn oncoming traffic - at times the road will not accomodate both and someone has to back up. Upon arrival in Amalfi I toured the Duomo - in addition to the phenomenal cathedral there is a display of historic artifacts and the crypt below which is being renovated. Another bus ride through even narrower streets takes you up to Ravello. There is another outstanding Duomo and Villa Rufalo is well worth exploring. I chose to walk back down the back country paths and stairs to Amalfi - there are a couple tourism offices that provide free maps with color coded trails. An extremely outstanding experience. Click on Amalfi coast webcam for a realtime view of the splendid coastline of Amalfi. (Just be forwarned that because of the angle of the camera, the late afternoon sun can interfere with your image.)
The ferry took me from Sorrento to Capri for a full day of exploration. Upon arrival I took another great bus ride immediately up to Anacapri where I found the short line for the chair lift up Mt. Solaro. This was so much fun and the views along the way were phenomenal, not to mention the smells from the gardens and lemon groves beneath. After a lunch and wine break I strolled Via San Michele for a bit of shopping and lemoncello tastings. At the end of this small street are stunning views and the "Fenician Staircase" which I chose to walk down for the return to Capri harbor. Built by the Greeks in the 8th century BC, these steps at one time were the only route between the two towns - the road as we know it today was not built until 1877.
