What is the best way to travel from Naples to Ravello without taking bus or car from Sorrento to Ravello?

You can train from Naples to Salerno, then either bus or boat to Amalfi town. From there you can catch the bus that runs twice an hour to Ravello.

Can't really avoid the bus....the last bit is only accessible with a bus up the hill from Amalfi. It's a nice little ride. Mary and Gerri are guiding you well with options. Of course you CAN walk up from Positano.

If you choose to drive please keep in mind:

You need to be competent driving a stick rather than auto (hard to get auto cars and even if you book one you may get a nasty shock if they have somehow 'run out').

You need to be competent reversing a vehicle as you may need to do this in the event that you meet a large vehicle on a narrow point of the road.
You need to be comfortable driving in tighter spaces. there will be places where you will need to drive through gaps that are not a lot wider than your car (eg. oncoming bus and stone wall on your other side).
You need to consider parking. If you cannot reverse park into a space that is only a bit longer than your car you may find it very hard.

I have driven on the Amalfi Coast Rd and some of the real goat tracks (eg. Positano to Nocelle) in shoulder season and enjoyed it so I am not trying to put you off. Just be aware that you will either love it or hate it - there seems to be no middle ground!!
