Pompeii에서 Positano까지 Private car transfer

The ancient Romans also made an effort to set up magnificent villas on the Positanonian coast. It then grew gradually with the arrival of dwellers from Paestum, who were running away from Saracen incursions. However, it is believed that Positano itself “only” dates back to the 9th century when the town was established around a Benedictine abbey. After the Amalfi Coast was devastated by a tsunami in 1343, Positano languished as a small fishing village until it was rediscovered as a charming holiday destination in the 18th century.

Make reservations in advance

Positano is a small town, but a hot destination. Restaurants and hotels fill up, especially during the summer, so make reservations for everything you can as far in advance as possible. You don’t want to be last in line, especially during peak season.

Pompeii to Positano by train (and bus)

The most popular public transportation option to travel from Pompeii to Positano is by train and bus. You’ll first take the Circumvesuviana train from Pompeii to Sorrento. This train journey will take around 40 minutes to reach the Sorrento station. From here, you need to transfer to the SITA bus from Sorrento to Positano, which will ideally only be a 40-minute journey.

Tickets don't guarantee a seat on the bus though. Because of Positano's popularity, buses are often overcrowded, so you may find yourself waiting for the next one.

If you prefer a less-crowded area, you can stroll eight minutes west to Fornillo Beach.

The fascinating Chiesa di Santa Maria Assunta also deserves a visit as well. The storied church boasts a restored Byzantine figure of the Virgin Mary, a glimmering dome roof, and eye-catching bas-reliefs.
