Sorrento to Amalfi โ€” the full coast, every hairpin turn

The SITA bus is one of the world's great bus rides. 90 minutes of hairpin turns along a cliff edge with the Tyrrhenian Sea 300m below. The ferry is calmer. Pick your adventure.

Through Positano, Praiano, Furore. Buses pass each other with centimeters to spare. An experience.

๐Ÿ’ก Pro tip: If prone to motion sickness, take the ferry. 1,000+ curves, no straight sections over 50m. Do one direction by each for best of both worlds.

The verdict

Bus for the experience, ferry for comfort. The Amalfi coast is the journey, not just the destination.
