Private transfers
Getting to the Amalfi Coast from Rome and Naples can be challenging. There aren't any direct connections between Naples and Amalfi or Positano, so you have to connect through Sorrento or Salerno. The easiest way to get to the Amalfi Coast is by booking a private transfer with a car service and professional driver. Luxury sedans and minivans have ample luggage space, car seats for children and infants, and are completely sanitized after every transfer.

Private transfer by land:
Pros: Much shorter travel times compared to public transport, especially for transfers along the Amalfi Coast, where roads are narrow and often congested. With a private service, there are no waiting times or transfers (buses or trains). Much less stress.
Cons: Higher cost compared to public transport.
Private transfer by sea:
Pros: Much faster than public ferries, especially with private speedboats. Ideal for those who want to reach destinations like Capri, Ischia, or Procida quickly and comfortably. No time restrictions, allowing access to the islands at any time.
Cons: Significantly more expensive than public ferries, especially if using luxury boats. Inconvenient in case of rough seas or rain.
Public transport:
Pros: Lower costs, especially for short trips. The most frequented routes are Naples-Rome and Naples-Sorrento, serviced by both high-speed national trains and the Circumvesuviana local train.
Cons: Much longer travel times, especially along the Amalfi Coast, where buses can be slow and crowded. Additionally, when traveling by sea, public ferries are slower than private speedboats and may require waiting for scheduled departures.
Recommendations:
If you're traveling to the Amalfi Coast from Naples Capodichino airport, it's absolutely worthwhile to invest part of your travel budget in a private transfer to avoid the inconvenience and long travel times on public transport. If you're arriving at Rome Fiumicino airport, you can either take a private transfer directly to the Amalfi Coast or take a high-speed train to Naples Centrale station and book a private transfer from there. If your final destination is Sorrento, the Curreri bus from the airport is a convenient option, especially if your hotel is located in the city center.
Reaching the islands by private speedboat is much more expensive than taking a hydrofoil, so the suitability of this option depends on your budget.
