Take a taxi from Naples Airport — if you flag one at arrivals expect to pay around €200+ (varies by group size, luggage, and time of day). The trip to Ravello takes approximately 60 minutes. We recommend booking through Hotel Parsifal; Salvatore operates an 8‑seater minibus and provides door‑to‑door service. It’s the most stress‑free option we’ve tried on the Amalfi Coast. This was costed at €200 for 5 people and luggage at last quote.

If it’s running, you can take the Pintour Bus — a privately operated shared minibus service. Fares are about €25 per person one way and buses run several times daily. If a pickup matches your flight, it’s a cost-effective alternative to private transfer or train, but schedules are limited, so check times in advance and have a backup plan.

We took this route on one visit and it is a pleasant way to travel but it is quite time consuming. You can meet the bus on the airport grounds and it takes you to Amalfi, or Ravello Castiglione which is at the bottom of the hill up to Ravello, here you can wait for a public bus. You will need cash to buy the tickets for the bus at the nearby tabacco shop.

You can take a ferry between Naples and Amalfi, then catch the local bus up to Ravello — it’s a scenic option that puts you right in the heart of the coast. In May weather can be changeable, so ferries aren’t guaranteed; check schedules and have a backup plan. Ferries also run between many towns along the Amalfi Coast, making it an easy, pleasant way to hop around once you’re here.

Having visited with a car, and without, we will always opt to go without. Driving on the Amalfi Coast is stressful and the narrow roads are subjected to dense traffic and with it, numerous traffic jams.

Parking is very scarce (parking in Ravello is no different) and expensive, usually your car would be taken to a garage off site.

There’s an extensive public bus system and also, you can easily get the ferry between all towns on the coast. It’s a short bus ride from Ravello to Amalfi and from there, the Amalfi Coast is your oyster from its ferry port!

Getting around the Amalfi Coast by bus The Ravello SITA bus stop is just outside the pedestrian tunnel off Ravello’s main square. Most routes require a change in Amalfi; you’ll need either two single-ride tickets (corsa singola) or, if you’re making an immediate connection, an orario ticket which can be cheaper. The most cost-effective option for multiple trips is the 24-hour costierasita ticket — validate it when you board your first bus for unlimited travel for 24 hours. Buy SITA tickets at local shops (newsagents, grocers); ask a local where the nearest vendor is. You can check timetables online, but expect delays: coastal traffic is unpredictable and buses often run late. Getting around the Amalfi Coast by ferry is a scenic, faster alternative to road travel that avoids traffic and offers spectacular coastline views. During busy summer months, buy ferry tickets in advance—especially for Capri—as services can fill up; tickets are often available online or at ports.
