I am reading some of the posts regarding travel from Naples to Positano. I am planning on taking the train from Rome to Naples. Getting on another train to Sorrento then a bus to Positano sounds exhausting!! Viator.com advertises $29.13 for van ride from Naples train station to your hotel in Positano. This now almost sounds to good to be true. Has anyone used this service?

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHERE TO FIND NELLO BOUNGIORNO?THIS SINGER WAS AT LA ZIGARA AND DOSENT PLAY THERE ANYMORE. WE ENJOYED THIS SINGER AT ANOTHER TRIP TWO YEARS AGO. THANK YOU

We've dropped Pompei from our journey and think from what has been posted the the best way to get to Positano is by train to Sorrento and then the SITA bus to Positano. However, is there a direct train from Rome to Sorrento or do we have to take two. Thanks

My family and I are planning a trip to the Amalfi Coast in June. We would like to base ourselves around either the Sorrento or Positano area. My one daughter tends to get carsick and I know the roads there are full of twists and turns. Does anyone have any travel suggestions for me regarding where to stay and what roads/forms of transportation are best so that we can make my daughter's experience as pleasant as possible? (Dramamine pills are definitely coming with us!)
Thanks!

What is the best way to get from the Rome airport (FCO) to Positano and then return, stopping in Pompei on the way to Positano? Would want to experience the Amalfi coastline. Does renting a car make sense? We have a hotel room in Positano for two nights so figure one day to travel to Positano with half day in Pompei. We are going Labor Day (sep 3) '09.

My wife and I will be in Positano to celebrate her 60th birthday, in last week of August. Can anyone suggest a restaurant that will be memorable for her - good food, exceptional atmosphere, prefereably outdoor seating, and possibly arrange for a music band to serenade her. If it's expensive, it's ok - she is worth it!

grazie,
Jim

We were in Positano in 2004, and enjoyed Music on the Rocks and Max's Restaurant (correct name?), among many other places. Now a friend is going in August and I would like to remember the names of more places:

Restaurant: Near Ristorante Max either on Via dei Mulini or on Via Christoforo Colombo, on the way down to the beach from the main road. "Gated" outside patio dining with greenery all around and, as I recall, some live music.

Nightclub: About 25 minutes or so away from Positano, built into the rock with glass floor in places to look down into the sea. From what I recall, located in an inlet of sorts. Very unique structure...a surprise at every turn as you walk through.

Any guesses on these?

Thank you!

I will be tendered from sea to Positano and want to do 'The Amalfi Drive'. I would like to go one direction by public transportation and return via ferry to Positano. I have read some places that parts of this drive is one way. If this is true, in which direction is it one way? I also heard that it is a steep hike from the road up/or down to Positano. If true, what is the easiest route? Thanks. Jerry

Hi,

I will be in Positano in June.

I would need to be at the airport for check-in/security between 9 and 9:30pm on a Thursday.

Thanks

I will be staying in Positano for a friends wedding in early June this year.

I have seen much advice on how to get from Naples to Positano but little about the return trip.

I need to be at Naples airport at around 10am on a Thursday morning.

Is this possible via public transport or am I going to need to get a taxi or hire a car instead?

Any advice would be most welcome

Thanks

My fiance and I are getting married the end of May - on the terrace of Hotel Marincanto. We were wondering about where to go afterwards to celebrate Italian style. Are there any customs in Italy we should be aware of. It will be just the two of us - someplace for dinner that is romantic and fun. Thank you so much!

I have heard about this club but i was wondering how often it is open? and how much it is to get in? i would apriciate it if you would get back to me :) thanks

We'll be leaving from padula and heading to positano. Staying overnight in positano and then heading to Rome. Whats the best way to go

We are traveling to Positano the end of March (2009). Wondering what the best (and least expensive) way to get from Naples to Positano? Or Rome to Positano?

We will be traveling to the Amalfi Coast in the mid fall, and need some help in finding a nice 3 or 4 star hotel. We would like a hotel that has great views, not to many steps and serves breakfast. Convenient to shopping and good restaurants.
We plan to take the train from Naples to Salerno than get a taxi to wherever we find a hotel.
Please help I have looked at so many hotels on the web I am lost. Thanks.

Does anyone know as to what the most economical mode of travel might be from
Positano to the Naples airport. We need to get to the airport for a 9:20 flight to Catania. Are there any express buses? or other economical means? Will consider taxi if there is no other choice.

We are taking an Oceania Cruise in May 2008 and will have a day in Positano from 8am and sail at 6pm. I have no inyerest in shopping in the town. We would like to go to Capri as our daughter did last fall. Would it be possible to get from Positano to Capri and back by 5pm to be sure we make our 6pm sailing. I saw one posting that told of an excursion from the Positano Beach to Capri and back. It left Capri at 4pm. How long is the return boat trip? Thanks.
