Transportation planning for Maiori, Minori and Ravello?

Posted by (South Carolina) on

We will be on the Amalfi Coast later this month, and I am trying to plan a day that we can spend seeing Maiori, Minori and Ravello.

My original thought is to take the morning ferry from Amalfi to Maiori; then walk the Path of the Lemons to Minori. Stop at Sal de Riso for lunch.

Ravello would be next on our itinerary. I'm not sure that our knees could take the walk, so what other options do we have? If one is the bus, I really want to avoid that for a variety of reasons. Is it possible to take a taxi from Minori to Ravello? And after spending time there, could we take a taxi back to Minori, so that we can catch the ferry back to Amalfi? Any other options?

Or might it be better to reverse the route and start by taking a taxi from Amalfi to Ravello, and then ferry back from Maiori? That still leaves me with the question of how to get from Ravello to Minori? I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you.

Honestly it sounds like too much for one day

Ravello needs extra time if you want to walk out to Villa Cimbrone for the views

Taxis should be readily available in all locations-be prepared to pay $$$$

You really need four hours minimum in Ravello and include both Villa Rufolo and Villa Cimbrone. I think you're cramming too much in a day.

From Amalfi to Ravello, it's easy to take the bus.

Be prepared for crowded buses. Last May the buses were packed with people and their backpacks and luggage. That is a lot for one day.

After reading everyone's much appreciated suggestions, I am rethinking this, and we will most likely do Ravello on a different day. With that said,
If we take the ferry to either Maori or Minori, will taxis be readily available from there to Ravello and back? And which location would be better and more cost effective for a taxi? Maori or Minori? We would then ferry back to Amalfi. I do understand that a taxi is considerably more than just taking the bus to and from Amalfi. The extra cost is worth it to me if I don't have to take a bus. Thanks again!

Minori is slighty closer to Ravello so I suppose a bit less for a taxi but it’s only a 5 min difference
Expect to pay 40 euros or more?

I do know taxis are readily available in Amalfi. Don’t know if same elsewhere

We took a shuttle bus to Ravello spent time at the both Villas and had lunch and then hiked to Minori and took the ferry back to Amalfi Town. If I had it to do over I would spend more time in Ravello and take the bus back to Amalfi Town and hike the Path of Lemons on another day. I regret spending the time walking all the way to Minori and not using that time to spend more time in Ravello
