HOW TO GET TO AMALFI COAST BY CAR OR SCOOTER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As we said before, you will get on the SS163 along the coast<\/strong>. This road is really busy, especially in summer and weekends. The locals prefer to enjoy this road trip using scooters or motorcycles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will find scary curves (are safe, but if you are a serial driver you will enjoy it)<\/em>. On the two wheels, you will enjoy the best of these curves and the landscapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are just two ways and the road is very tight, there are a lot of buses, so be careful, because in some cases they need to occupy almost the whole opposite roadway for affording the curve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the way to the Amalfi Coast there are some “Terrazze”<\/strong>, a scenic spot with an amazing viewpoint, doesn’t matter if you are by car or on the two wheels, you have enough space to park the car for a minute and enjoy the place. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plan your Amalfi Coast Itinerary looking at the map, there is the stop spot on the way signed on top and you can plan which places stop, even for a quick lunch on the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a little tip:<\/strong><\/span> When you find a lot of cars on the sides of the road, and you don’t know why, or where are all the people. It is because nearby there is a hidden beach, where just a few people know that, and there is a hidden road to walk close to you. <\/em><\/p>

As you know there is a place “Furore”, where there are no many road signs to point you to the right way to one of the best beach, but just to the commonly known one. Spot those cars on the carriage and find the way to go down the coast, you will find the paradise.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n

This special service is running even at night, it makes the landscape even more suggestive than ever, with all the light and smoothes in front of you.<\/strong> The track will take 40 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The service is running by Alilauro<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, with a high-speed ferry boat, the price is 19.80\u00a3 but is worth<\/strong>. You can book ferries to and from the Amalfi Coast online.

If you are planning to transport your luggage with you, is better you know there is an extra fee. the luggage can be transported on the ferry, but there is a surcharge of \u20ac2 per bag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you arrive in Positano with your luggage and your hotel is on the high part of the town, there is a porter service on the arrival port, the Porto Grande of Positano<\/span><\/a><\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concierges will take you and your luggage to your hotel for a fee. As per our experience, is better to avoid the ferry if your hotel is uphill. Go for the traditional way. You can always opt for the ferry ride to Naples on the return.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the hottest months of July and August, the online purchase is advised.<\/strong> If you buy your ticket online, you will avoid long queue and the disappoint of sold out. If you don’t have any chance to buy your ticket online, you can go directly to the port and buy your ticket in advance, it will save you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
