 roads - amalfi coast by dvideira
Even so, WATCH OUT !! Scooters and buses are everywere and it's amazing to see these people driving along these serpentine roads... If you don't have a bit of sense of adventure, do not drive there...
The roads are realy narrow and driving conditions are extreme but, on the other hand..... the views will make you forget all about it. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Day trips to Capri are made on the ferry, which is actually a tugboat-sized craft with benches on an open deck. From Naples and Sorrento much larger and faster hydrofoils are used. In season, tickets for the ferry should be purchased from the little kiosk on the west end of the Positano beach. The ferry begins in Sorrento and stops in Amalfi so to ensure a seat during high season buy early. The trip can be choppy as the boat passes the legendary home of the Scylla and Charybis, the sirens of Homer's Odyssey. The landing area at Positano is an unprotected pier so in rough weather it will just bypass. If this happens returning from Capri, the next stop is Amalfi. Fortunately the bus station is immediately adjacent so returning is not difficult although obviously inconvenient. The enclosed photos show Positano and Marina Grande from the ferry.

Positano is small enough that you can probably walk wherever you need to go. However, the stairs are challenging even for fit visitors, and if you're staying higher on the mountain, you will probably want to take the bus from time to time.
The local Positano bus is fairly reliable. It makes a loop through the city, arriving at each stop every half hour. It leaves the downtown stop (nearest the beach) on the hour and the half-hour. There are signs at all the other stops to indicate when the bus should arrive at that point.
A one-way ride is 1 euro.
There is a bus stop right outside Villa Gabrisa and Hotel Pasitea (Best Western), so this is convenient for anyone staying there. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus

 Riding along the Amalfi Coast
to Positano by londonlover
Check the website for details. There are two stops in Positano--which one you want depends on where your hotel is. The driver will announce both stops, but it was up to us to get our luggage out of the bowels of the bus, and there's no pull-off, so act fast! :) (Don't worry, it's fun.) Leave a Comment

 Boatconnection, Amalfi coast by gubbi1
I took it twice, once from Positano via Amalfi to Salerno and another time just from Amalfi to Salerno. Both times I really enjoyed the view.

 Peugot. by K.Knight
This proved to be a cost effective move because we only paid approx AUS$1200 per couple for the car which included all of the insurance, taxes and stamp duties and the car came "fully insured with no excess!" When you think of the money you spend on trains/busabout tickets etc without the freedom of choice, this is an excellent way to see what you want to see! Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home
