Salerno to Positano: how to go

Salerno → Positano: ferry is easiest in season (with bags); bus via Amalfi runs all year as a cheaper alternative.

Updated Dec 22, 2025transport

Ferry (recommended with luggage)

Board at Molo Manfredi/Concordia depending on operator and plan for roughly an hour on the water, depending on sea conditions.

Check sea conditions and the live timetable; seats can sell out on weekends — arrive early.

Bus via Amalfi (year‑round)

Train to Amalfi (SITA) → change to the Positano line; longer but available off‑season.

Keep small cash, validate tickets, and allow buffer at the Amalfi interchange while you check the onward departure board.

FAQs

Is the ferry reliable in spring?

Yes, but early spring storms can cancel services. Always check on the day.

Where to stow bags?
