Planning your Trip

The Amalfi Coast is a stretch of coastline in Southern Italy's Compania region comprised of 13 towns and villages. Cliffside towns makes for stunning views, but don't forget your comfy shoes for those stairs!

​

In mid-September you can expect weather between 65º–80ºF, and water that has been warmed all summer!

Tips:

1. Stay in more than one town to get the true experience

​

2. Travel via water as much as possible! The stairs to get to the roads can be brutal, plus being on the water is always more fun. (& do not rent a car - when you see the cliffside roads you'll understand)

​

3. In less touristy towns, hotels can be a great option so you have an English speaking concierge to help with booking taxis or reservations.

​​

4. Book things in advance! Boats, beachclubs, and restaurants all tend to book up in advance so make sure to make a reservation - some of which are done via email or whatsapp.

Airport: Naples Airport (NAP)

​

Naples is the closest airport to all Amalfi coast cities - however, you typically cannot fly into Naples direct from the US. 

 

We recommend looking at roundtrip flights into major European cities (London, Paris, etc), and then purchasing a separate flight from that airport to Naples as it is usually significantly cheaper.

Ex: LA to Naples is currently 1400 round trip, but LA to London is $550 round trip + $60 to Naples.  

Once you arrive in Naples there are many ways you can

get to your first destination.  

(We recommend not staying overnight in Naples)

 

Ferry from Naples -> Capri, Positano, Sorrento ($20-$30)

Taxi -> Easiest but most expensive, expect ~$200 to Positano

Private Car -> Great for groups (Options in Google Doc)

Bus -> Nice busses & cheap option - but can be slow (~$10)
