The Amalfi Coast
My time in the Amalfi Coast was beautiful. Below are my top suggestions to get the most out of your trip. Eat well, sleep well and enjoy!
Where to Stay

La Ferrovia guest house, Sorrento (right beside train station)
What to Do

Boat trip around Capri (Blue Grotto: pay in)
Cable car Capri
Scooter up Amalfi Coast

Ferries
(Faster than buses)
Book online or at the port.
They go everyday, from Sorrento to Capri they go more regularly (takes 20 minutes from Sorrento to Capri, 40 minutes from Positano to Sorrento)
Transport
There’s an airport shuttle to Sorrento from the airport. Takes 1.5hr and is 10€, get on/off at Sorrento train station which is very central.
Buses are super cheap (I got one from Solerno to Amalfi, then Amalfi to Positano for €2, 3 hour trip).
