Private car transfer from Positano to Naples

Timing is key 

If you’re booking sightseeing stops at Mt. Vesuvius, Pompeii, or a winery, plan your trip to avoid the midday crowds and rush-hour congestion. And if you’re catching a flight, give a buffer for traffic delays.

Savor the Ride

Take a private transfer with Daytrip to fully appreciate this route from the Amalfi Coast to the capital of the Campania region. A private car is the only option that lets you take advantage of sightseeing opportunities at Italy’s iconic landmarks, like the ancient ruins of Pompeii and slumbering Mt. Vesuvius. It’s a great way to squeeze in some more of Italy if you’re on your way to Naples Airport!

Take in the views from Castel Nuovo

The castle you can see from the Piazza del Plebiscito, is the iconic Castel Nuovo. Built in the 13th century, it’s been modified, updated, and remodeled over the years, and now has a Baroque triumphal arch as its entrance. It’s well worth taking a tour to see the interiors, and the view of the port from the ramparts is the best in the city.

Explore Santa Lucia

Head southwest from the Piazza del Plebiscito and you’ll enter the district of Santa Lucia. This warren of narrow cobbled alleys is the perfect place to lose yourself in Neopolitan living. Originally a fishing settlement, it’s a great place to stop for some authentic seafood dishes.

Patrol the port

Keep heading downhill in Santa Lucia, and you’ll finally reach Naples harbor. The basis of Naple’s economy, the harbor is split into a number of different ports, and is abuzz at all hours. During the day though, you’ll want to pay a visit to the Castel dell'Ovo. The oldest fortification still standing in Naples, there’s been some defensive structure here since the 6th century BC.

Find the best pizza in Naples

Sample as much pizza as possible during your Naples explorations. Restaurants in the city battle for the title of “Best Pizza in Naples”. L’Antica Pizzeria Da Michele is always popular, especially after Julia Roberts ate here in Eat, Pray, Love. But you also don’t want to miss a distinctly Neopolitan experience; keep your eyes peeled for street pizza carts, which fry their pies rather than bake them.
