We have followed Rick's guidebook and are staying in delightful small town of Minori. A few things to be aware of: to get to/fromMinori most people use either the ferry boats from Sorrento or local Sita buses. BUT-- if the water is rough, the ferries will not dock at Minori; instead they move on to Maori, which has a protected harbour. From there you have to make your way back to Minori. That's a 25 minute walk (with luggage) on a somewhat narrow roadside path, or wait for a local SITA bus.
Re: the local Sita busses-- be aware that runs coming to Minori (headed north) from Salerno are often full, and so no passengers are able to board at Minori. We waited in line for almost an hour, with two buses passing by, unableto pick up. (There was added pressure as ferry was not runing to Minori.). Tip: take early bus, and get to bus stop 30 minutes prior to scheduled departure as the line builds in the last 20minutes.
You can of course take a taxi (expensive) or try to wave down (or book online) one of the private busses.
Price of becoming popular I guess!

We spent a brief amount of time in Minori, and it was lovely. This is good information for folks.
