3.Amalfi Coast by Train & Ferry with Smart Digital Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 37 reviews

Travel from Naples to Salerno by train, then follow the coast by ferry to Amalfi and Positano. A concierge provides tickets, directions, a map, and water. You get free time in both towns, plus a short Salerno stop before returning to Naples.

“Almafi est superbe et très animé... Positano regorge de petites boutiques où il vaut mieux regarder les prix, parfois jusqu'à 10x supérieur à ceux des quartiers populaires de Naples...! Salerne est plutôt grand, à part la rue commerçante qui part du port... la halte prévue est un peu courte pour visiter les points touristiques proposés par l'Office de tourisme local... Les transports sont adaptés aux flux de touristes...qui embarquent à la chaîne...”
