Touring The Town

Getting about is never difficulty as the Positano’s hill is networked with well-maintained public footpaths and stair cases crossing the lemon terraces. There is also a local bus that goes down and up the hill along the meandering road giving you a lovely view of the town. When travelling to the beautiful Positano town, you have three options; by bus, private car or you can take a ferry. To travel by bus you have the options of boarding one from Salerno or Sorreto.

Both buses passes through some of the most ravishing country and for amazing views you are advice to take a site next to a right hand side window when you are starting from Sorrento and next to a left hand side window when from Salerno. Unfortunately, the bus doesn’t get into the town and you have to take a taxi or the local bus to your hotel. A point to note is starting April when the peak season begins the local bus is normally crowded and at times you have to wait for a couple of hours for it.

Book Ahead For Naples

When you are coming by a private car you are always advised, to book for parking slots in advance as they are always crowded especially during the peak season. You can also take a ferry from Naples although it is a bit expensive if you are an economy travel but the journey is worth it as you set your eyes upon some the world’s most breathtaking views. If you ever travel to Italy, make sure you visit this beautiful destination.
