Reach the Chiesa Nuova stop

Exit the hostel, walk down the front staircase, and turn left along Viale Pasitea.

After roughly 100 metres (330 feet) take the first right-hand corner beside the tabacchi/newsagent — the Chiesa Nuova bus stop sits right outside.

Head inside before boarding to buy Interno Positano tickets in advance; it is cheaper and avoids delays at the door.

Ride the Interno Positano bus downhill

Board the orange mini-bus marked \"Interno Positano\". Different vehicle styles run the route, but the destination on the electronic sign stays the same.

Stay on as the bus loops through Positano’s hillside streets and descends toward the town centre.

Disembark at Piazza dei Mulini

Get off at Piazza dei Mulini, the central stop in the shopping district near the pharmacy.

This is the lowest point in town that vehicles can reach and places you within a few minutes of the waterfront.

Walk the final stretch to the beach

Walk straight beneath the archway beside the square and follow the promenade toward the port.

Within 3–4 minutes Spiaggia Grande opens on your left — use the walking guide if you want every staircase checkpoint.

Bus tips

  • Buy interno tickets at the tabacchi before you queue; on-board purchases cost a little more and drivers sometimes sell out.
  • Screenshot the timetable from reception or the digital concierge — late-evening services thin out in shoulder season.
  • Switch to the walking route if you would rather stretch your legs on the way down.
