Question 1

What is the best way to get from Naples Airport to the Amalfi Coast?

Accepted Answer

Take the Alibus from Naples Airport to Naples Central Station, then board a Trenitalia train to Salerno or Sorrento. From there, use SITA buses or a private transfer to reach Amalfi Coast towns. Alternatively, pre-book a direct shuttle service for door-to-door convenience, especially with luggage.

Question 2

Which Amalfi Coast towns are most accessible during the rainy season in autumn?

Accepted Answer

Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello remain fully accessible year-round. While narrow coastal roads may occasionally close during heavy autumn rains, bus services like SITA typically resume quickly. Avoid hiking trails during downpours due to landslide risks, especially on the Path of the Gods.

Question 3

Is the Amalfi Coast Card worth it for a one-day visit to Amalfi and Positano?

Accepted Answer

The Amalfi Coast Card is not ideal for one-day visits to both towns, as it mainly benefits those staying multiple days in a single commune. Instead, pay for attractions and public transport individually. Use SITA buses between towns and confirm ferry schedules, which often offer scenic and faster transfers.

Question 4

When is the best time to visit the Amalfi Coast to avoid crowds but still enjoy good weather?

Accepted Answer

Visit between late September and early November for fewer crowds and pleasant temperatures (18-24°C). The summer tourist surge has passed, seas remain swimmable, and towns like Ravello host cultural events. Alternatively, May to early June offers blooming landscapes and mild heat before peak season.
