Pick the Least Painful Route
These are planning ranges. In July and August, traffic, queues, and ferry boarding can add real time. For public transport, leave buffer.

Where to Buy Tickets
Install or bookmark these before landing. Airport Wi-Fi, queues, and small screens become annoying exactly when you need to move quickly.
Best Route by Town
The coast is not one destination. Amalfi and Maiori are Salerno-side. Positano is easiest when ferry times line up. Ravello always needs a final climb.

Compare Group Costs
Public transport wins for one person. For four people, transfer pricing starts making more sense, especially with suitcases.

After Evening, Stop Optimizing
If your flight lands after 21:00, public transport is no longer a clever puzzle. It is a risk chain. The safest answer is transfer, taxi, or a night in Naples or Salerno.
Ferries and SITA thin out
After evening, one missed step can remove the whole public route.
Luggage turns changes into work
Late station walks, bus queues, and stairs feel very different with suitcases.
A night nearby can be smarter
Naples or Salerno may cost less than forcing a risky coastal connection.
The Last 500 Meters Matter
On the Amalfi Coast, "arrival" may mean the pier, the bus stop, or a junction below your town. The final walk can decide whether a cheap route feels smart or miserable.
The pier is not your door
Ferries, cobbles, stairs
A car may stop at the edge
Drop-off roads, pedestrian lanes
The map hides the climb
SITA stops, hill towns, buffers
Do Not Learn This at Arrivals
Google Maps can be technically right
It may suggest tight transfers, hidden station walks, or bus stops below your hotel. Check the luggage reality, not just the route line.
July and August buses fill fast
SITA buses are useful and cheap, but standing-room boarding with suitcases is not a relaxing start to the trip.
Ferries are weather dependent
Always recheck ferry operators the day before and again in the morning, especially around rough sea or wind.
The last 500 meters matter
Ports, bus stops, steps, and pedestrian lanes can be the hardest part. Ask your accommodation for the exact bag-friendly arrival point.

Naples Airport Questions
Is there a direct bus from Naples Airport to Amalfi?
Yes. Pintour lists a direct Naples Capodichino Airport to Amalfi shuttle with intermediate stops including Vietri, Cetara, Maiori, Minori, Ravello/Castiglione, Atrani, and Amalfi. Check live booking because seasonal timetables can change.
What is the best way from Naples Airport to Positano?
In ferry season, the smoothest public route is often Alibus to Naples Beverello or train to Salerno, then ferry to Positano. Outside ferry season or after a late landing, book a taxi or private transfer if you have luggage.
How much is a taxi from Naples Airport to the Amalfi Coast?
The official Naples fixed taxi tariff lists Positano at EUR 145, Amalfi at EUR 155, and Ravello at EUR 160 per cab. Motorway tolls and the EUR 5 minivan supplement are excluded.
Can I reach the Amalfi Coast if my flight lands late?
Sometimes, but it is risky after evening arrivals. After about 19:30, ferries and bus connections become limited. For flights landing after 21:00, book a transfer or sleep in Naples or Salerno and continue in daylight.
Is Salerno the better interchange?
Use Salerno for Amalfi, Atrani, Ravello, Maiori, and Minori. For Positano, compare live ferry departures from Naples Beverello and Salerno, then choose the port that has the best realistic departure after your flight.
Do ferries run in winter?
Some routes run with reduced schedules, while many tourist routes are seasonal or weather dependent. In winter, plan around trains and buses first, then use ferries only after checking live operator schedules.
