Positano

Getting there & around

SITA runs frequent buses to/from Amalfi (€1.30) and Sorrento (€1.30). Buses drop you off at one of two main bus stops: coming from Sorrento and the west, opposite Bar Internazionale; arriving from Amalfi and the east, at the top of Via Cristoforo Colombo. When departing, buy bus tickets at Bar Internazionale or, if headed eastwards, from the tobacconist at the bottom of Via Cristoforo Colombo.

Between Easter and October, daily ferries link Positano with Amalfi (€6), Sorrento (€6), Salerno (€7), Naples (€9) and Capri (€15.50).

Getting round Positano is largely a matter of walking. If your knees can handle them, there are dozens of narrow alleys and stairways that make walking relatively easy and joyously traffic-free. Otherwise, an orange bus follows the lower ring road every half-hour, passing along Viale Pasitea, Via Cristoforo Colombo and Via G Marconi. Stops are clearly marked and you buy your ticket (€1) on board. It passes by both SITA bus stops.
