Additionally, the ferry service connecting the Amalfi Coast villages only runs during tourist season. If you're dreaming of a classic beach vacation, the best time to visit is from July to September.

A much more pleasant alternative to the car is to take the train to Salerno and from there catch a ferry to Amalfi or Positano. The public SITA bus is a good way of travelling along the coast road.

To explore Amalfi by land is only half of the experience. The best views are seen from the ocean, where unobstructed vistas of the coast's world ... sea is by taking a ferry.

The best way to get around the towns within the Amalfi Coast is on foot ... you can also grab a high-speed ferry to Positano, Amalfi or Sorrento and even to the nearby islands of Capri or Ischia ...
