Best way to travel from Naples to the Amalfi Coast - Positano (Italy). Bus or Taxi?

Question

Estimated cost for a taxi? (Naples Train station to Hotel in Positano)

Where would I find a bus schedule? Website?

Answer 1

Traveling from Naples to Positano is scary no matter which way you travel because the road is *very* narrow around the mountainside with no guard rails on the outside.  I traveled by bus and had to stand; it was very hot and crowded, but it gave me a feel for what the residents have to go through.

Answer 2

Well as already said you can have different choices

1Train you must go to Salerno first then from Salerno: SITA bus to Amalfi/Positano

2 Circumvesuviana (which is an inner train) from Napoli, inside the Central Station

2 SITA bus strigth from Napoli (also near to the Central Station)

3 Ferry (from the port)

4 Taxi

1 This is easy since you take the train to Salerno and then from there take the bus to Positano, you pay a bit more then option 2 and have to make sure to take the connecting bus, anyway all are scheduled so with a bit of planning can be done.

2 this is relatively cheap and easy since there are scheduled train every day. It is advisable not to take the train late in the day (aprox 5 Euro per person)

3 this is the cheapest, also easy to get but you must make sure to take the right one, so unless you don't  speak a bit of italian this could be a bit problematic. (aprox 3 Euro)

4 This is relatively expensive, and you mast get to the port, it however a nice trip since you see the all bay, there are scheduled ferries and there is also a web site where to check

5 This is the most expensive way to get there, yon may even go for for 100 Euro.

Anyhow did you check with your hotel if there is a pick up service, normally it should be it or it could be arranged (however this also could be expensive)

Answer 3

There are ferries that go from Naples to the Amalifi Coast and from there you can take local buses to Positano, or a ferry to Capri. There is also an inner city train called the Circumvesuviana that goes all the way from Naples to Pompeii and stops at a lot of places along the way, like Sorrento, a great town to stay in.
