Wife and I are doing 2 months in Italy this year, Sept-Oct, finishing off on the Amalfi coast. I've been watching hours of travel content and this is hands down THE BEST vlog on Positano, detailed but concise, with brilliant tips and lived experiences. Thanks Dana, From Melbourne Australia.

I've found the easiest way to get to to Positano is the bullet train from Rome Termini to Salerno which takes 1.5 hrs and hop on the ferry from Salerno to Positano for an hr boat ride where you get to see everything the Amalfi Coast is. $90USD for two (train and ferry included.

Thank you Apelili, btw your name is beautiful! I definitely like to share fun value driven content with you. Thank you for supporting

Fun Tip: if you would want a shorter journey to Positano from Naples you can always take the ferry !! the views are amazing and the tickets are cheap and the ride is around an hour and a half and normally they do stops in Capri and Amafi so you can get a glimpse of the other towns or even get off if you want :)

Also for anyone looking for a less expensive option for transfer.. you can take the fast train from roma termini to Salerno. From there you can take a private transfer or you can take the ferry for significantly cheaper. This is much fast than going through Naples/sorrento.

I just got back from my trip to Positano, and we took a Marozzi bus from Rome to Positano! It was amazing and seamless! It’s €27 for a one way ticket, and it picks you up in the tiburtina bus station and drops you off at the Positano bus station. Takes 4 hours because there are stops along the coast. We flew into Rome in the afternoon. Spent the night there, got on the bus in Rome at 7am and were in Positano by 11am. Highly, highly recommend!

Really helpful video. I just returned from Positano and it was lovely, but think I would have had a better time if I had seen this video first. Problems I had were getting confused by GPS directions and going up and down steps unnecessarily and not ever getting to my destination. Her overview of the roads would have really helped me. Also, choosing restaurants is harder than one might think so I really appreciate her suggestions.

Great job with this guide! I've bean to Positano and a lot of your suggestions are right on:) One thing I can add is that you can take the train from Rome Termini Station and get off in Salerno. There's a port right across the street, and you can take a ferry from their to Positano which is about an hour and a half ride. Best to get the ferry tix in advance. Nice to time ferry so you get in right before Sunset too and a great intro to Positano.

Thanks for the tips! This info is SUPER helpful! I finally took the leap and booked my first int'l SOLO trip to Italy end of Sept to the first week in Oct 2022!! I'll be on a solo group travel tour visiting Venice, Florence and Rome. Seeing the Amalfi Coast is a bucketlist destination so I chose to extend my trip an extra 2 days to maybe do a full day trip to Positano were I plan to hire a private driver. No way I'm dealing with the stress of public transportation...lol. I'd love to maybe even book an overnight stay in Positano and head back to my hotel in Rome the next day. So although I have plenty of sightseeing and free time included for my trip, I'd have to plan some things on my own. But I'm super excited. Got tired of waiting on others to travel with.

I have solo traveled in Europe several times, and I love it. Overall, Europe is very safe and very easy for English speakers to navigate, so I think this is a great option for your first solo trip! I hope you have a great time and love solo traveling when you need/want to do it!!

OMG so informative !! Once this Covid ends I want to go to Poisitano/Amalfi Coast and most of all Capri Island !! I agree shared transport is the best !! You just get in and all your luggage and it takes you straight there in stead of transferring to all these other trains and buses !! If you don’t speak Italian it doesn’t help and takes too much time and it doesn’t sound that much cheaper !!

This is super helpful! My fiancé and I are planning our honeymoon in Positano next year and we are so excited. Thank you for all the tips! Do you have any more recommendations on hotels/places to stay? Also - did you do a day trip to Capri and if so - did you go to the blue grotto?

You make some good points on getting to Positano but I find that the Italo or TreniItalia bullet train to Salerno from Rome is the most enjoyable train experience.. From Salerno you take the TravelMar boat taxi to Positano.. You get to enjoy the views from the water all the way up to Positano

I didn’t knew you can take the ferry from Sorrento to Positano. I’ve been with Circumvesuviana 5 times already, and nothing from your mentions happened to me or in my sights. I’ve camer as well from Naples with the public local line and was stuffed with a lot of other people and all was fine. Save travel ;)
