Easiest (and preferably cost efficient - less than €30pp) way to get from Naples to Positano?

Posted by on

I'll be taking a train from Florence with a quick stopover in Naples (for their famed pizza, ofcourse) before heading to Positano. I know it's easier to get to Positano if I take the train to Salerno instead, but I REALLY want to try Neapolitan pizza.

That being said, the Metro Del Mare website is impossible to navigate and understand (even with Google Translations). People keep talking about a ferry that goes direct from Naples to Positano, but I can't seem to find any concrete information on that (especially not on the Metro Del Mare website). There's also supposedly a bus that runs twice a day direct from Naples to Positano, but again, I'm unable to find any information about it on the SITA website.

My last resort is to take a Positano Shuttle Bus I found online for €35 euro per person which is quite expensive for us, but it's quite convenient as it's direct. If I can find an easy way to get to Positano for under €30, i'll take it. Anything over that, i'll just take the shuttle.

Note: I will be there at the end of June, and will be traveling on a Wednesday.

Thank you in advance for all your advice/tips. Anything will help.

You can find Neapolitan pizza throughout the Campania region, in fact one of the best I ever had was in Tropea(in Calabria). But if it has to be in Napoli, you can take the Curcumvesuviana to Sorrento for a few euro, the bus from Sorrento to Positano for a few more (as the previous poster stated, probably under €10).

Thanks so much for the input!!
I'm hesitant to take the train with all my luggage because everyone warns of pickpocketing since it's a busy commuter train. The bus would be second choice. I've heard it's so busy it might be hard to get on one, and I might not even get a seat.

That Positano ferry site looks hopeful! I guess i'll wait until April to figure all this out when the ferry schedules are released.

All of your recommendations are amazing. Thank you!!!
