Positano से Salerno तक निजी कार स्थानांतरण

The SS145 highway takes you north into the Pompeii area and is a more urban driving environment. This path is slightly longer but allows you to visit famous sites like Pompeii and Stabiae. It's also less likely to be backed up with traffic.

In the early Middle Ages, Salerno gained broader European recognition for the Salerno Medical School, which was Europe's first medical institution. Its doctors had extensive knowledge from all over the ancient Mediterranean world thanks to Salerno’s multicultural population and extensive trade. Practices and discoveries from Greek, Roman, Jewish, and Arab medical institutions were united under one roof to make medical advances and disseminate information through Salerno’s international trade routes.

Salerno Airport (QSR)

After the long-awaited renovations, the Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR) is open to flights! This international airport began servicing London, Milan, Berlin, and other major European cities in July 2024. If you have been considering flights to the Amalfi Coast and were only looking at the Naples Airport, now travelers have a second option in Salerno.

The airport was exclusive to military and private use from 1926 until 2024, however after the completion of an extended runway and modern amenities, it is open to commercial flights. The entire project will not be completed until 2027, however, a section of the airport is open for limited service for airlines like EasyJet and Ryanair.

Ferries from Positano to Salerno

Riding a ferry along the coast of Italy is a unique and awe-inspiring experience. Direct ferries for this route depart frequently with an average of 19 trips per day scheduled on the summer timetables (these are seasonal though). The journey takes 55 to 90 minutes and tickets are priced at $16 to $22 (€15 to €20).

The ports of Positano and Salerno are located right by the downtown bars, hotels, and restaurants. It may even be within walking distance from your hotel.

Before finalizing your decision to ride the ferry, check the weather and sea conditions. Ferries can be delayed or canceled due to storms or rough water. High waves will worsen the effects of seasickness and may upset young children.

Buses from Positano to Salerno

SITA operates buses between Positano and Salerno, but it is an unreliable and uncomfortable mode of transportation, especially during summer.

Tickets cannot be purchased ahead of time for a guaranteed seat or specific departure time. You can buy an open ticket at most convenience stores or at the bus station for around $3 (€3), but you will have to stand at the bus stop and wait in line after purchase. The timetables are relatively accurate but infrequent. Buses make many stops and there is no direct option.

The bus will only allow passengers for which it has space, making even short-distance trips more complicated. During peak travel season, the buses fill up fast and you will be waiting for the next bus with space for all the passengers in your party. The entire ordeal is around 3 hours of travel, not including wait times.

Giardino della Minerva (Minerva Botanical Garden)

The Minerva Botanical Garden was established in the early 14th century by Matteo Silvatico, a renowned physician and botanist of the Salerno School of Medicine. It served as one of the earliest examples of a botanical garden designed for the cultivation of medicinal plants and Silvatico used it to educate medical school students in the identification and use of medicinal herbs.

Over centuries, the garden fell into disrepair but was eventually restored and reopened in 2001 as a historic and educational site.

Castello di Arechi (Arechi Castle)

Arechi Castle looms above Salerno and has breathtaking views of Salerno, the Amalfi Coast, and the Tyrrhenian Sea. The castle is named after Prince Arechi II of Benevento, who significantly expanded and fortified the structure in the 8th century. However, its origins date back earlier. At night, its ramparts and towers are lit with floodlights and can be seen from all over Salerno.

Take a tour to see artifacts and learn about the military history of the region, or just take advantage of the stunning vantage point for panoramic photos.

Italian bakeries

Little can be said about Italian bakeries except that you can never have enough. Once all of your beachcombing and touring has worn you out, stop by one for a quick pick-me-up. Delizia al Limone is a rich pastry delicacy found throughout the Amalfi Coast and is quite hard to find outside the area. Made with local lemons, this is a cake-like sphere that is tart, sweet, and surprisingly filling.
