Positano to Sorrento by Bus | Hostel Brikette
To travel from Hostel Brikette to Sorrento by bus, use the SITA Chiesa Nuova / Bar Internazionale area and select a Sorrento-bound journey serving both stops. Check the actual date and route variant rather than treating every coastal bus as the same service.
This is the outbound Positano-to-Sorrento journey. Plan the entrance stairs, road approach, queue and any onward connection together; a bus ticket does not reserve a seat or protect a separately booked train or flight.

Choose a Sorrento-bound journey
Find Positano (Chiesa Nuova) and Sorrento in one suitable journey column. The 5070 catalogue includes route variants; check the selected journey's stops instead of assuming one fixed running time or intermediate route.
For a sea alternative, compare Positano to Sorrento by ferry for your date. Include the walk to the Positano pier and the transfer from Sorrento's waterfront to your actual destination.
Buy and validate the correct ticket
Arrange the correct route ticket before queuing, through an authorised seller or supported digital channel. Use SITA's purchase and validation guidance; digital tickets require the prescribed check-in. Retain your ticket, and follow its own instructions rather than expecting every driver to stamp or tear it.
Check the 1 October 2026 fare-change notice when comparing old prices. Confirm the single fare for your actual journey; a regional tariff class alone does not establish it. See the SITA ticket guide.
Read from Positano to Sorrento
Open the official SITA timetable catalogue and select the Sorrento-bound block. At the 25 October 2026 check, entry 5070 was listed through 1 November, with a PDF effective from 14 September. Check for a newer version before later travel.
Start at Positano (Chiesa Nuova), then read Sorrento in the same journey column. Use that table's own day legend, blanks and notes, plus current service notices. Do not read from Sorrento back to Positano when planning this direction.
Find the Chiesa Nuova SITA stop
Use Positano (Chiesa Nuova) near Bar Internazionale on Via Guglielmo Marconi. Confirm your destination and today's boarding position with the driver or authorised seller before crossing or joining a queue.
The local Interno stop at Tabacchi Cafiero on Viale Pasitea is a different service and location. The Chiesa Nuova departure guide explains the distinction.
Walk from Brikette to the stop
Start at Hostel Brikette, Via Guglielmo Marconi 358. Descend the entrance stairs, turn left along the main-road approach and continue toward Bar Internazionale. The approximately 120 m / 390 ft road leg is separate from the entrance stairs.
Use the walking-map reference with current signs and conditions. Allow time for bags, narrow pavement and crossings rather than a fixed three-minute connection.
Confirm Sorrento before boarding
Confirm that the actual bus serves Sorrento and where to queue today. Wait clear of traffic, signal your wish to board from a safe position, let passengers leave first and follow the driver.
A timetable or place in the queue is not a seat guarantee. Allow a fallback for full or changed buses, and request your destination stop in good time.
Arriving in Sorrento and connecting onward
Confirm the selected bus's actual Sorrento drop-off before boarding. For a train connection, check the route from that stop to the railway station and allow time for bags, tickets and the platform; do not assume one combined terminal removes every transfer.
For Naples, use the Positano–Naples bus-and-train guide alongside EAV's current railway timetables and notices. For the airport, use the outbound airport-bus guide. Each onward service needs its own confirmed departure and suitable ticket.
Check bags and assistance before buying
Check SITA's current baggage rules. At the 25 October 2026 check, non-obstructing hand baggage up to 50 × 30 × 25 cm was free; other bags needed a baggage ticket and suitable space.
Keep aisles and exits clear. If your bag cannot be accepted, allow another departure or a confirmed suitable transfer. For porter help, agree the provider, quote, collection, delivery and timing directly; it is not automatically a hostel-operated or step-free service.
Leaving bags after checkout
For a later departure after checkout, enrol through the guest app under the luggage-storage conditions. The hostel must have received your agreement to the terms and conditions, and storage is subject to availability.
Storage is free until 15:00. If you do not return by then, bags automatically go to the porters, whose service is charged. Leave time to collect or receive your bags before the journey.
Return plans and a fallback
For a day trip, check the last usable Sorrento-to-Positano bus before leaving Brikette. Work back from the actual return departure rather than assuming the last bus has a fixed year-round time.
If the plan no longer works, check another verified service or licensed transfer for your location, total quote, bags and destination. Recheck any onward train or flight deadlines before buying a substitute.
FAQs
How do I read the Positano–Sorrento timetable?
Use the Sorrento-bound table: find Positano (Chiesa Nuova) for departure and Sorrento for arrival in the same journey column. Apply that table's day legend, blanks and notes. Reading the Sorrento departure row first would plan the reverse journey.
How much is the bus to Sorrento?
Confirm the current single fare for your actual journey through an authorised channel. On 25 October 2026, SITA listed COSTIERASITA at €10 for 24 hours from first validation on its specified network. It is personal: complete name and birth date. Recheck coverage; local Interno is not automatically included.
Can I rely on buying a ticket from the driver?
Arrange your ticket before queuing. Use an authorised outlet or supported digital channel and follow the actual product's validation requirements. Do not assume onboard sales or seller opening hours without current confirmation.
Where should I board from Brikette?
Use SITA Positano (Chiesa Nuova) near Bar Internazionale. The approach includes entrance stairs and about 120 m along Via Guglielmo Marconi. Confirm the Sorrento-bound position; Interno at Tabacchi Cafiero is a different local service.
How long does it take?
Use the selected journey's scheduled times and add margin for the hostel approach, queuing and road conditions. Route variants and delays mean one fixed duration should not be used as an onward-connection guarantee.
Does the bus guarantee my train connection in Sorrento?
No. Confirm the actual bus arrival stop, the route to the station and the train's departure. Allow transfer and platform time; separately bought tickets do not automatically protect the connection.
Can I bring a suitcase?
Check current size, baggage-ticket and available-space conditions before travel. Keep exits clear; a full luggage compartment is not permission to obstruct the passenger area.
What about a winter trip or the last return bus?
Choose timetables and notices for your actual travel date in both directions. Do not substitute a fixed winter interval, summer frequency or a year-round last-bus time.
