Amalfi Coast Transport information

Location

Amalfi Coast is easily reached thanks to its proximity to the cities like Naples (airport) and Salerno (train station) and thanks to highways that quickly connect to the rest of Italy. There isn’t a railway service along the Amalfi Coast. You can use the public Sita Buses, boats, ferry or private rental car.

The Amalfi Coast is served by a single road, which largely runs through cuts in the living rock. It follows the line of the coast, passing through a number of towns in succession, sometimes at sea level and sometimes at elevations of up to 200 meters. These characteristics allow the traveler to admire a panoramic vista that is, in certain stretches...

SITA BUSES - PUBLIC LINE TRANSPORTATIONS

The Company of public buses in Amalfi Coast is SITA SUD and it’s a partner of a cooperative called UNICOCAMPANIA that works in all-region. The SITA buses are cheap, fairly efficient and comfortable. Important to know, the thickets for your transportation has the logo of SITA SUD or UnicoCampania, so for sure, you shouldn’t have mistake when you buy it. The bus terminal is in Amalfi main square (Piazza Flavio Gioia) exactly in the middle of the Coast, where all buses coming and going to Positano, Sorrento, Ravello, Salerno, Agerola, Naples and all Amalfi villages.

NOTE: you need to buy the physical ticket, at TABACCHI SHOP, in some BARS, in TRAVEL AGENCY, some SUPERMARKET, before catching the bus, even days before. Don’t worry the bus thickets will not expire because it works only after you clip into the machine, located next to the driver as you board. Make a clear signal when you want to catch the bus on road, cause they don’t stop automatically at all the bus-stop signals.

Good to know how to check the timetable of SITA bus, you should be aware of the days on which buses run:

F means working days Monday to Saturdays
