Amalfi to Positano by SITA Bus | Hostel Brikette
Use SITA Sud's dated Campania timetable for the exact Amalfi-to-Positano departure on your travel date. Service times, route patterns, crowding, and the last return vary, so do not rely on an old fixed frequency or journey time.
For Hostel Brikette, use the stop listed as Positano (Chiesa Nuova), also known locally as Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale. Confirm it by name rather than inferring the stop order.
Check the operator before you travel
Open SITA Sud's official Campania timetable portal and select the dated timetable for the coast service. Check both the outward trip and your exact return before leaving Amalfi.
Traffic, capacity, road restrictions, weather, and service changes can affect the trip. Leave a generous buffer for a train, flight, ferry, or check-in connection, and do not assume a published departure guarantees a seat.
At Amalfi, use the current signed bay and destination display. Stop assignments can change, so confirm the Positano/Sorrento direction with the driver or authorised operator information rather than relying on an old bay description.
Tickets and validation
Buy the correct ticket through a current SITA Sud or authorised sales channel and follow the ticket's validation instructions. Do not assume the driver sells tickets.
Regional fare-class prices do not by themselves prove which class applies to Amalfi–Positano. Confirm the exact origin/destination ticket with SITA Sud or an authorised seller rather than copying an old route/class claim.
The official COSTIERASITA notice lists the special ticket at €10 with its stated 24-hour terms. It is useful only when the journeys you plan are covered and would otherwise cost more.
Alight at Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale
When boarding, tell the driver 'Chiesa Nuova, per favore.' If the vehicle has a stop button, press it in good time. Follow the current onboard display, announcement, timetable, or driver instruction rather than an unsupported countdown, GPS coordinate, church landmark, or claim about stop order.
Chiesa Nuova and Sponda are different Positano stops. For Hostel Brikette, alight at Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale and follow the current property-arrival route.
From the stop, follow Via Guglielmo Marconi toward number 358 for about 120 metres / 390 feet. Allow roughly three minutes plus time for luggage, and use the hostel entrance stairs. Keep away from moving traffic where the pavement narrows.
Bags and access
Vehicle type, baggage capacity, and accessibility can vary. Check the operator's current rules, follow the driver's instructions, keep aisles and exits clear, and allow another departure or a suitable licensed transfer if the vehicle cannot safely take you or your luggage.
Do not assume Hostel Brikette can book a porter. If considering a porter or taxi, identify a licensed operator and confirm the current quote, passenger and bag capacity, meeting point, delivery or drop-off point, accessibility, and payment method directly.
If you miss the stop or service changes
If you miss Chiesa Nuova, get off only at a designated stop and reassess using the operator's current information. Do not assume the same ticket remains valid for a return ride or that the next bus will arrive within a fixed interval.
For a weather-dependent alternative, compare the live operating-company ferry service and its baggage terms. Advance purchase does not guarantee that a sailing will operate. For a taxi, obtain the full current quote before accepting.
Room check-in at Hostel Brikette ends at 22:00 and reception closes at 22:30. Contact the property before travel if disruption may delay you; do not assume late self-check-in is available.
