Practical tips
Coastal buses fill up quickly in summer and on weekends. Booking online in advance secures your seat and usually costs less than buying at the last minute, so you avoid paying more or being left stranded.
Naples has several transport hubs, and mixing them up is a common mistake. Read your booking confirmation carefully and check the exact boarding location before leaving your accommodation, so you do not rush across the city.
Morning departures give you a buffer if traffic on the coast road is heavy, and you arrive with time to check in and enjoy Positano. Late departures leave little room for delays or a full bus.
Positano is built on a steep hillside with many steps and narrow lanes. A soft bag or small wheeled case is far easier to manage than a heavy suitcase once you step off the bus.
Do not get stuck on the coast: look at your return options before you arrive and book your trip back if you have a fixed plan, such as a flight or an onward train from Naples.
The journey experience
Naples to Positano is one of the classic hops for independent travellers heading to the Amalfi Coast, and the first question is always which way to go. On this route, the bus is the option to plan around. It takes you to the coast without a string of connections, and the comparison table on this page shows current durations and prices side by side.
The coach follows the winding coastal road, so you get sea views, cliffs and pastel villages for much of the ride. Seats are comfortable enough for a regional trip, and luggage normally goes in the hold, which is handy if you carry a large suitcase. You can book online and receive instant confirmation, so you are not queuing at a counter with your bags. Grab a window seat and keep your camera ready.
Your best move is to book ahead, especially in high season, when coastal services fill up fast. Check the exact departure point on your booking confirmation before you leave your hotel, because Naples has several busy transport hubs and it is easy to head to the wrong one. Leave some margin in your plans, as traffic on the coast road can slow things down. With a confirmed ticket and the right stop, this trip is simple and stress-free.

How long to visit Positano?
Plan 2 to 3 days. One day is enough to wander the lanes, enjoy the beach and have a seafood dinner; a second lets you hike the Path of the Gods from Bomerano or take a boat to Amalfi, Capri or Li Galli. Stay overnight if you can: day-trippers miss the quiet mornings and evenings. Avoid driving, use ferries and SITA buses, and book accommodation early for May to September.
