Skip Pompei, especially if you're coming from Rome. I thought it was so

I agree with you. If you are into ancient civilization, Pompeii is a must see.

This is exactly what we did (Bullet to Salerno, boat to Amalfi). It worked well all in 1 day.

IMO, Amalfi is too far from Rome for a day trip. But, definitely worth a stop
