Capri vs Amalfi Coast — island or coastline?

Experience

Capri: island, no cars, vertical, compact. See it in 1 day. Amalfi Coast: 50km of cliffside road, multiple towns, needs 2–3 days minimum. More variety, more movement.

Costs

Both expensive. Capri slightly more (island markup). Amalfi has budget options (Maiori, Minori, Vietri).

Verdict

Capri: day trip add-on. Amalfi Coast: main event. The smart move: base on the Amalfi Coast and day-trip to Capri by ferry.
