Transportation

While it's possible to navigate the Amalfi Coast by car or public transportation, the narrow and winding roads can be challenging to drive. Instead, we recommend hiring a private driver for the duration of your trip to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Expect to pay around 150-200 euros per day for this service.

Useful Tips

If you have more time to spare, consider adding a boat tour of the coastline or a hike along the Path of the Gods. Alternatively, if you have less time, you may want to skip the Pompeii Ruins and spend an extra day relaxing on the beach or visiting the nearby town of Ravello.

Airports

The closest airport to the Amalfi Coast is Naples International Airport (NAP), located approximately 30 miles north of the coast. From the airport, you can take a taxi or private car directly to your hotel, or take a train or bus to one of the nearby towns.
