Overview: car trip from Naples to Maiori
Maiori is one of the best places to visit if you’re planning a trip from Naples. A Naples to Maiori drive is not something you will soon forget, considering everything there is to see along the way. Not to mention the incredible historical and cultural treasures that await you when you get to this cozy resort town in Italy.
When you drive with a private car service like Daytrip, you’ll see places like Mount Vesuvius, a real-life volcano that you can walk. Its strangely beautiful landscape has captivated many travelers. Then there is Cantina del Vesuvio, a vineyard and restaurant worth visiting. When you pop in at this destination, you’ll get to walk the vineyard and learn more about the wine-making process before grabbing a bite.
Afterward, you can explore Pompeii, an ancient Roman city with a tragic history and incredible sights that have frozen in time. It's a place that will remain in your memory for a lifetime, as will your next adventure in Maiori. From beaches and castles to palazzos and churches, there’s much to explore, and your English-speaking Daytrip driver can give you a few travel tips before dropping you off in this magnificent resort city.
About Maiori
Even those well-versed in Italy’s landscape might not know Maiori. It's a hidden gem along the Amalfi Coast. Maiori is exceptionally well positioned, offering visitors better beach conditions and an incredible climate than the other hidden gems along this route. Since Maiori is home to fewer cliffs, the beaches in the region have easier access to the sea, making it easy for visitors to traverse the beauty of the town's coastline and enjoy frequent dips in the ocean.
Most people who choose to complete a Naples to Maiori transfer do so because of the climate and lifestyle the resort town offers. It's endlessly beautiful and laid-back. You can visit for a day or a week and feel refreshed and ready to take on another adventure. Although the town has grown in popularity recently, it began as a historical center. Over the centuries, it has encountered numerous events and was even a significant player in the time of the Amalfi Republic. For years, it prospered under the rule of Naples and became a beautiful place that people wanted to live in and visit.
When you find yourself here, you can expect to be inspired by its coastal views and left in awe of its churches, watchtowers, monastic complexes, and quaint individual chapels. Each of these buildings highlights the resort town's unique architectural appeal, with its exceptional beauty drawing the eye of even those who aren’t natural-born artists.
So, if you love natural beauty, peace, tranquility, and antiquity, you’ll love exploring Maiori, learning its little truths, and seeing its treasures.
From Naples to Maiori: travel tips
There are only about 40 miles (64 km) between Naples and Maiori, but this doesn’t mean you don’t need to know a few travel tips if you plan on sightseeing along the way. So, if you’re considering a trip from Naples to Maiori in the near future, here’s what you need to know:
Keep an eye on your personal belongings
If you’re taking the train, bus, or even a taxi, keeping an eye on your personal belongings while in transit is a good idea. Although most of the places along the way and Maiori itself have their security maintained at a high level, it's still a good idea to play it safe. You won’t likely encounter any issues with thieves and pickpockets, but keeping your eyes peeled will help prevent any potentially disastrous situations.
Renting a car is not as easy as you think
Many people believe renting a car in Naples is easy and can get them to Maiori far quicker than other options. Although driving is indeed faster, renting is not that easy. If you want to rent a car, you must be over 21 years old in Italy and have a minimum of a year of driving experience.
In addition, if you’re not an EU resident, you’ll also need an international driver's permit. Renting a car is also expensive, with prices starting at $65 (€60) a day minus insurance, deposits, and fuel. Plus, Maiori and the rest of the Amalfi Coast have limits on when rental cars can enter!
You might need a visa to visit Maiori
Visiting Maiori is one of the most exciting experiences if you love Mediterranean vibes and resort towns along Italy's coast—or think you will. However, it's vital to know that you will need a visa if you are not a European citizen.
If you are not a citizen of a European country and choose to visit Maiori, you’ll also only be allowed to visit for a maximum of 90 days. However, chances are if you’re driving from Naples, you already have a visa to tour Italy.
How to get from Naples to Maiori
There are a few ways you can get from Naples to Maiori, but since the distance between the two cities isn’t far, you need to know that you don’t have as many transportation options as you think you do. So, to help ensure you travel safely from Naples to Maiori, we’ve shared a few travel options that will likely be up your alley.
From Naples to Maiori by bus
Bus travel is by far unsurprisingly the most popular choice for those who want to travel between Naples and Maiori. This is because bus travel is relatively cheap between these two destinations, and direct trips are offered. Taking a bus is also often faster than taking a train, and for only about $5.40 to $11 (€5-€10), many budget travelers choose this option.
If you want to book a bus ticket, you’ll need to consider SITA Sud as it is one of the only bus lines offering trips between these two places. However, before you book, you need to know that bus travel can have its negatives. For example, there are not many bus trips offered daily, it's not as comfortable as private car travel, and the winding roads can make many feel unsafe. So keep these factors in mind.
From Naples to Maiori by train
Taking the train is often one of the more convenient travel options, especially in European countries, but this isn’t the case when you want to get from Naples to Maiori. Although train travel is possible, it's complicated.
You would need to book a train with Trenitalia’s train line, which would cost about $5.40 to $16 (€5-€15), and the train would take you to Salerno from Naples. From Salerno, you need to book a bus or ferry to take you on the rest of the way to Maiori. If you want to take the bus, you’ll need to book with SITA Sud, and if you want to take a ferry, you will likely book with Travelmar. Both options would cost between $2 and $11 (€2-€10) from Salerno to Maiori.
The costs will quickly add up, and if there are no delays, the entire trip will take about two to three hours. Plus, with all the transfers, traveling can be frustrating even though the timeframe isn’t too excessive, considering you’ll have to cart your own luggage.
From Naples to Maoiro by private car service
Traveling from Naples to Maiori by private car transfer service might not be as inexpensive as train or bus travel, but it offers far more benefits. When you travel with a company like Daytrip, you won't need to worry about carting your luggage from one station to the next, and you’ll get to choose the times you travel.
Daytrip also allows you to sightsee along the way to places like the Villa di Poppea and the Stabia Archeological Site, two of the most beautiful historic places in the world. You’ll also get comfortable seating, safe and professional English-speaking drivers, and scenic views of the gorgeous Amalfi Coast.
The entirety of the trip will take about one hour and ten minutes, making it the perfect day trip travel option. You can even bring your much-loved furry friend with you. Not bad for about $29 (€27), right?
Things to do when you get to Maiori
Armed with the knowledge of how to get to Maiori, you can now look into what you should do when you get there. To ensure your trip planning goes smoothly, we’ve shared a few places you should consider visiting below. So read them over before or after you drive from Naples to Maiori and prepare for an exciting time!
Maiori Beach
Maiori Beach is arguably one of the most beautiful places in the world and one of the best to visit if you’re traveling along the Amalfi coast. This beach is everything a beach should be, with fine creamy sand and crystal clear waters that make you question if you’re a sea creature.
So, if you’re in Maiori, do yourself a favor and visit this beach, whether it's to sunbathe, swim, or simply get your feet in the sand; you won’t regret it. In fact, you really won't regret it if you visit the beachside cafes and enjoy some gelato as you admire the Mediterranean views.
Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano
Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano—what a mouthful, right? Despite being hard to pronounce, Castello di San Nicola de Thoro-Plano, or Maiori Castle as it's otherwise known, is one of the premier places to visit during your trip to this resort town.
The Maiori Castle has been a fixture in this beautiful coastal town since the 9th century. Its rich history offers visitors a fascinating glimpse into the region's past and what medieval life was like centuries ago. So, if you love history and castles, this is a match made in heaven. From watchtowers and ancient walls and ruins, there is lots to explore, and the views are unmatched!
Santa Maria de Olearia
Although there are many historical gems in Maiori to explore, Santa Maria de Olearia is one of the few you cannot miss visiting. This ancient benedictine abbey has stood proudly in the resort town since the 10th century.
Unlike other abbeys, this one has been carved into the cliffs, so, unsurprisingly, it features magnificent frescoes dating back to its early days. Even if you do not enjoy history or unique locations, you’ll love touring this abbey to soak up the ancient atmosphere and charm not felt anywhere else in the world.
When is the best time to visit Maiori?
If you’re planning a trip from Naples to Maiori, you need to determine the best time to visit. This Mediterranean destination enjoys long, hot summers and short, mild winters, so year-round travel is favorable. Still, we say the spring or fall are the best time to visit Maiori. The weather is pleasant, and there's far fewer people than in the summer.
Most people enjoy visiting this resort town between June and August. If you plan to travel during this period, be prepared for summer to be the hottest and most expensive month in terms of accommodations and attractions since it's the most popular month for travelers in Maiori.

Why people love Daytrip
- 1,671 travelers took this route with us
“I used this service for a transfer from Split in Croatia to Perast Montenegro. My experience was exceptional. My driver Bojan was helpful, informative and ensured my journey was comfortable and enjoyable. I highly recommend the service.”
“We were extremely satisfied with the quality of service we received from Day Trip. We had two Day Trip rides on August 31 from Athens to Lefkada and September 7 from Lefkada back to Athens. Both trips included stops at scenic sites in Greece. Both drivers were excellent and accommodating. However, we’d especially like to recognize Panos Peppas, who was our driver from Lefkada to Athens. Panos was incredibly nice & pleasant and delivered outstanding customer service, which included handling all of luggage, providing us with cold waters throughout the trip, providing us protein bars, providing us with printed materials on the Corinth Canal (one of scenic stops), looking up and providing us with terminal & gate info for our flight back home and providing us with a recipe for tzatziki.”
Best transport company anywhere
“We absolutely love this company and have used it many times over the years to get from A to B without the hassle of hiring a car ourselves. Excellent drivers every time. Efficient and professional. It’s worth every penny and we can honestly recommend Day Trip to everyone. It’s 5 star rating is well deserved.”
Excellent experience in traveling
“We traveled from Nuremberg to Munich in a beautiful Audi. Driver picked us at our hotel at the exact time requested. Got us to Munich in plenty of time for our next tour. Driver made sure we were comfortable”
Reasonably Priced and Safe Transportation
“Gonzalo from daytrip was our driver and he was absolutely amazing. He went over and beyond trying to locate us as our service wasn't so good on our phones. He patiently awaited our arrival to the lobby so he could take us from Tulum Dreams Resort to our other hotel in cancun an hour and a half away near the airport prior to our departure flight home. He was polite, respectful and kind. Made sure we were comfortable during our long ride. Fast and to the point. I recommend this company as finding a one way ride from Tulum to Cancun isn't easy or cheap and this company provides a great service for a great price. I will definitely be using them again whenever I'm in the Cancun/Tulum area. Thank you DayTrip and Gonzola.”
“We were picked up by Marianna to drive us from Heraklion to Chania. The weather was terrible & due to this Marianna arrived a few minutes late. She contacted me to advise of this. Marianna lives in Chana and she made our trip very interesting by informing us of local things to do and see in Chania. Marianna is a safe driver and we all felt comfortable with the speed she drove at and how good her driving was in heavy rain. She is a lovely person with fluent English. We highly recommend Daytrips and if you are in Heraklion or Chania please make sure you ask for Marianna.”
“Used the service to go from Luxor to Hurghada, Egypt. Ahmed H was our driver and he was perfect. The car was new, clean, he had water and snacks for us, and accommodated our stops. Great service from him and would recommend it.”
Comfortable and Safe Rides in Mexico
“Used Daytrip for two rides in Mexico, which were both great. So comfortable, and we arrived at each of our destinations at a great time. Both were incredible drivers, and we felt so safe. One of our drivers, Miguel, also played the best music! Will definitely use Daytrip on our next trip to Mexico.”
Great way to travel and see some sights on the way
“We did not know what to expect with this trip and booked from Australia. We were initially looking for an easy way to travel from Granada to Malaga. We decided not to waste the opportunity to see something additional on our way. Miguel certainly exceeded our expectations. His English was excellent (unfortunately we speak very little Spanish), and he was very friendly and helpful. We thoroughly enjoyed hearing about the regions as we passed through and also discussing some of the local ways. Miguel took us to Antequera as planned and ensured we were able to easily get our tickets to the attractions without any sense of rushing us. We were picked up and dropped off punctually and really enjoyed our trip. Hopefully we will return to Spain and we can use this service again sometime.”
“A few weeks ago we had the pleasure of using Daytrip for our private roundtrip transfers from Naples train station to Maiori.Both of the drivers we had were very engaging and excellent drivers!We have used Daytrips now 2 yrs in a row when in Italy and are very satisfied. We will surely use them on future trips,and highly recommended them to other travlers! Best Regards,John C.”
