By boat
There is a network of ferries that run along the towns of the Amalfi Coast. The ferry service is run by Coop Sant'Andrea .They provide quicker access to the towns during the summer months, as opposed to the one main Amalfi Coast road which connects Amalfi to Praiano to Positano and onwards to Sorrento. Major ferry stops are Salerno, Sorrento, Positano, and Amalfi. In summer, there are ferry connections from Positano and Amalfi to the pretty towns of Maiori and Minori. Praiano is not serviced by ferry as there is no stable pier to dock and ultimately the marina is very shallow. Positano is the closest point for people staying in Praiano who want the ferry.
Get around
By bus
The SITA bus service runs all along the Amalfi Coast (and from the main towns of Naples to Salerno). Tourists can purchase a 24h ticket for 6 Euro or a 3 days pass for 15 Euro. The rides are quite frequent and late evening ones are also available. During summer the service is available until midnight from Sorrento and Amalfi to Praiano.
A local bus that loops Praiano and Positano is available from spring until fall. The service is operated by the Flavio Gioia company
