The Amalfi Coast has no airport of its own and no railway. Most visitors fly into Naples (NAP); Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport (QSR), which reopened to commercial flights in 2024, is the closer alternative for the eastern end of the coast. From either, the last stretch is the coast road, by car, bus or boat.
November 2026: Naples Airport is closed for runway works from 1 to 30 November 2026, and part of its traffic has moved to Salerno. Check which airport your flight uses.
Which airport for the Amalfi Coast?
- Naples Airport: the main gateway, with the most flights. Positano is about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes away by car; Sorrento about an hour.
- Salerno Costa d'Amalfi Airport: about 45 km from Amalfi and 20 km from Salerno. There is no direct bus to the coast towns: the airport bus goes to Salerno station (about 40 minutes), then a SITA bus or a seasonal ferry continues along the coast.
- Rome: too far for a day trip for most people, but a direct car from Rome or Fiumicino avoids two changes.
Private transfers to the Amalfi Coast
Buses on the coast road are slow and often full in summer, and most hotels are up or down steps from the road. A driver who drops you at the closest point to your hotel is the main reason to book a transfer here. A live Welcome Pickups quote on 12 November 2026 gave €124 from Naples Airport to Hotel Marincanto in Positano (one passenger, pickup on 25 November); prices are per vehicle. You can book an Amalfi Coast transfer with Welcome Pickups.
