Amalfi is the main town of this beautiful region and is often packed full of tourists. As with the other coastal towns in this region, Amalfi is truly stunning with its plethora of multi-colored houses, hanging between the sky and the blue sea.
It is said that the famous limoncello originated from this area, most likely from the island of Capri. Being larger than most settlements on Amalfi Coast, Amalfi city even has its own cathedral. This cathedral and the Piazza del Duomo are one of the main places to visit in Amalfi.
There is no direct public transport between Naples airport and the Amalfi Coast. The Naples Alibus Airport Shuttle transports passengers between the airport, the Central Train Station and Naples Porta di Massa and Molo Beverello Ports. From Naples city, there is a direct line to Sorrento and then from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast.
When you arrive at the bus station in Sorrento, you have to transfer to another bus that runs the route from Sorrento to the Amalfi Coast, passing through the villages of Positano, Praiano, and Amalfi. The company is called SITA Bus. The transfer duration is about two hours, depending on the traffic conditions and the waiting time for other passengers.
At any time of the day, you can find local taxis at Naples airport. All of the official ones are white and easy to spot. The approximate taxi price is approx. 70-90€. Make sure you agree on the price with the driver before the ride, because the prices are not fixed for further destinations. Night rate is regularly applied.
Not all taxi drivers speak English so you may experience language barrier as well. You need to have the name of the hotel, accommodation or street name clearly written to show it to the taxi driver, to avoid misunderstanding.
If you find yourself in a new country and want to focus on vacation or work instead of organizing transportation - book an airport taxi. Since the Amalfi Coast is not something you can enjoy in a hurry, give yourself more time to experience all the charms of Italy. Due to the challenging roads, you will not be able to look around and enjoy the surroundings if you drive by yourself.
If you go by bus, you do not have the option to choose a seat by the window, since buses in this area are always crowded with tourists. Private airport taxi will provide you with everything you need: comfort, security, and a lot of time to take beautiful photos and truly enjoy this Italian paradise. In addition to the fact that the prices are fixed, you have guaranteed comfort, safety, and above all - top service.
