The SITA bus is cheap and frequent, but if you're caught with standing room only it's long, winding and extremely uncomfortable. Several American student groups got on. Standing room only. And then locals were also jostling to get on,.obviously not wanting to wait for the next bus. It was like a stifling, hot cattle market in the aisle as the... More

The so called ' Amalfi Drive' has got be one of the most breath takingly beautiful experiences ever. I have been fortunate enough to do this trip a number of times over the years and it never fails to delight me. It can be scary - I have friends who have done it once only and vowed ' never again',... More

Truly spectacular drive on an ancient road - hugging the cliffs, looking out over the sea, and inland at some of the most beautiful scenery anywhere. Arguably one the best drives anywhere in the world. Hire a car and take at least one drive south to Amalfi or further. Many hairpin turns and passages where only one vehicle can pass... More

We took a day to explore and drive the length of the Amalfi Coast and we were not disappointed. A weekday during November was the perfect opportunity and there were no crowds or traffic. We were able to park when we wanted and enjoy the scenery, take pictures, enjoy the restaurants, do some shopping, and of course, eat gelato! We... More

This is a beautiful road trip. I would recommend going on a bus vs driving. The road is winding and narrow. Many buses, scooters and car use this road. The scenery is too beautiful to be missed. Many small towns dot the coast. We were headed to the Amalfi town. We planned to go to Positano. After the trip on... More

If you want to see one of the most spectacular stretches of coast line in the world then get the bus form Sorrento train station to Amalfi. Do not bother hiring a car because to drive it needs a lot of concentration, nerve and patience so you will miss the sights. Buy a 7.5 euro 24 hour ticket and make... More

I took the public bus along the Amalfi coast. So glad I wasn't driving as I would have missed much of the scenery. The road is very narrow with lots (and I mean lots) of tight bends. I have the greatest respect for the public bus drivers who drive along this road making it appear easy.

We took an excursion from Naples that wound all the way down the Amalfi Coast. The views wew breathtaking. Typically, I wouldn't enjoy a 8 Hr. bus ride, but the views from stop to start wre spectacular. Take time off to enjoy any of the small cities built above the coast. There are several restaurants along the coast. Our Drive... More

After reading some of the recent reviews we set of in our little Renault to drive from Sorento to amalfi. Would say thought hat actually it's quiet a present drive you definitely need to keep your concentration on the road, but that's about it, the biggest problems are avoiding the hordes of people on the tour buses who seem to...
