The Amalfi Coast is a very beautiful place to visit; it has gorgeous locations, and the local food is delicious. Traveling between Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi, and Capri is very easy. It's worth staying at least 5 days. I arrived from Naples by bus, and it was a good option; everything is very safe.
Posted: December 10, 2023We spent a week on the Amalfi Coast and visited Sorrento, Naples, Capri, and took a boat trip along the coast to reach the small towns. It was beautiful, but I wouldn't go there again. There are so many people. Driving along the coast was, let's say, a challenge. The roads themselves weren't that bad, but the traffic was a nightmare. It was not possible to stop in any of the towns along the way because there simply were no available parking spaces. If you're going to this area in summer (we were there at the end of August), do yourself a favor and take a boat trip to see the towns.
Posted: May 31, 2023I was on the Amalfi Coast and felt super safe there. Really friendly people and also a small place, you can walk around it and it's incredibly beautiful. I highly recommend visiting this place.
Posted: May 24, 2023I stayed in 2 hotels in Sorrento, and from there I took a train trip to Pompeii, a boat trip to Capri and a one-day (bus) trip to Positano. Sorrento is a beautiful small town with plenty of restaurants and shops.
Posted: February 18, 2023I spent a week on the Amalfi Coast last year. We set up base in Sorrento because it was much cheaper and we only did day trips to Capri/Amalfi/Positano/Ravello/Pompeii/Vesuvius Volcano etc! Restaurants etc. are also much cheaper in Sorrento than in Positano.
Posted: February 17, 2023I stayed in Sorrento and simply used the bus to get to Positano. (Initially I booked a ferry, but it was cancelled). Sorrento was much cheaper, but it's a charming town with many markets and places to eat. You can also swim there. In Sorrento, there is also a railway station.
Posted: February 17, 2023I was in the Amalfi area, including Positano, at the end of September, beginning of October. It was very crowded there. I spent two weeks there; it rained the first week so the ferries weren't running, which caused a lot of tension during my trips from Amalfi to both Salerno and Sorrento and traveling to Amalfi. The buses were full and often did not stop at most stops because they were already overloaded. I lived in Vietri sul Mare, so I didn't need to use the bus. As soon as the sun came out, the ferry service was resumed, which made my travels fantastic. I really liked Positano, Ravello and Cetara.
Posted: November 28, 2022I went to Positano in March and it was wonderful, there were no crowds, the weather was great. It was my first solo trip and I lack words to describe the happiness that the Amalfi Coast gave me. I was going up and down the stairs, there were a lot of them and I was very satisfied, the most beautiful views I have ever seen. I stayed at an airbnb with an amazing terrace. The best trip of my life.
Posted: November 28, 2022To do: My unforgettable activities list: - I was taking pictures of colorful houses in Positano - I ate lemon sorbet in Amalfi - I spent relaxing time on the beach in Positano - I took part in a cruise around Capri - I went shopping for beautiful ceramics in Positano Safety: I traveled alone and I felt completely safe. Accommodation: I stayed in Sorrento and I would say it's the best place to stay if you want to visit other Amalfi towns. Recommendations: Take part in a cruise and sail along the Amalfi coast.
Posted: July 15, 2022Travel plan: This is my 5-day travel plan - Day 1: arrival in Sorrento - Day 2: Capri - Day 3: Atrani and Amalfi - Day 4: Positano - Day 5: Sorrento Safety: I felt very safe Accommodation: I stayed in Positano when I was on the Amalfi coast. It's a beautiful town with a beach, hiking trails, and really good connections with other towns. Recommendations: When exploring the Amalfi coast, choose Sorrento as your base. It has the most transport options for traveling around the Amalfi coast.
