Traveling around the Amalfi Coast requires careful consideration. Buses and ferries are the most popular modes of public transportation that offer picturesque routes. However, they can get crowded during peak seasons. Rented cars or motorbikes give you more freedom, but the narrow roads are tortuous and driving can be challenging. The average travel time between cities is around 30 minutes to 1 hour. The cost of a bus or ferry ride ranges between €1.30 and €8.00, while renting a car can cost anywhere between €40 and €100.
If you have more time to explore the coast, don't miss out on visiting the town of Ravello, hiking down Path of the Gods and taking a cooking class to learn about local cuisine. For a shorter trip, skip some of the attractions and focus on the ones that interest you the most. Check the weather forecast before you go, and avoid traveling during peak seasons if you prefer less crowded places.
Amalfi Coast doesn't have its own airport. The nearest airports are Naples International Airport (NAP) in Naples and Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR) in Salerno.
