Getting to Positano, Italy?

I am taking a cruise Oct./Nov. 2007. We will be stopping in Naples. I would love to see the Amalfi Coast (preferably Positano). What would be the best way to get there (affordably) for a day trip from Naples?

The Amalfi Coast is a BEAUTIFUL area. Positano is a little over an hour north of Naples. The downside? The road between the two cities is partially along the coast and can be a treacherous drive during the rainy season (when you are traveling), so driving may not be the best option and it will be expensive. Some parts of the Amalfi coast are only accessible by boat.

Most people would recommend you take a boat, also known as the hydrofoil, or the ferry from Naples to Positano. It is about $20.00 each way and about a 55 minute hydrofoil ride and about 1hr 15 for the ferry ride (I do not remember exactly). I think the ferry is about $13.00 each way.

The second option is to take the train from Naples to Sorrento and then take the bus (operated by the "Sita" company) from Sorrento to Positano (5th stop). Bus does not run on Sundays. The bus trip is about 1.5 hours from Sorrento to Positano. Thus, considering the length of time of the train to Sorrento and the bus to Positano, I do not think this is an option for you (2.5-3 hr ride there and 2.5-3 back is 5-6 hours just traveling).

If you do choose to rent the car, please ensure the weather is nice that day and that you are prepared to keep your eyes on the road. It is a very tiny, winding, treacherous roads up and down the mountains. Most locals don't even own cars because it is best to take the public buses/trains. Please also ensure you get renters insurance (which will add about 50EU to the cost of the rental)

I hope you have a great trip!

When we took a cruise in June, 2005, we stopped in Naples and rented a car and drove to the Amalfi Coast. We had about 10 hours total in Naples and still had time to drive there, walk around in Positano and Ravello, and drive back. There was an Avis office about a 20 minute walk from the cruise port (Napoli Partenope - N0P
Via Partenope, 13, Napoli (Naples), 80121 , Italy
(39) 081-2481336
Sun Closed; Mon-Fri 08:30AM-05:30PM; Sat 08:30AM-01:00PM ). We rented an economy car for about €50 for the day. This is a beautiful part of Italy and is worth exploring on your own, rather than confined to a tour bus. The rental car is also MUCH cheaper than the pre-arranged cruise company tour or train/bus tickets for a whole family.

Good luck!
