I stayed in 2 hotels in Sorrento and from there I took a train to Pompeii, a boat ride to Capri, and a day trip (by bus) to Positano. Sorrento is a beautiful little town with lots of restaurants and shops.
I did a week in the Amalfi Coast last year. We made base in Sorrento as it was a lot cheaper and just did day trips to Capri/Amalfi/Positano/Ravello/Pompeii/mount Vesuvius etc! Restaurants etc are miles cheaper in Sorrento than in Positano as well.
I stayed in Sorrento and just used the bus to get to Positano. (I had initially booked the ferry but it got canceled). Sorrento was a lot cheaper but was a sweet town with lots of markets and places to eat. You can swim there too. There’s a train station in Sorrento also.
