Take a day trip to Positano from Ravello! Traffic along the Amalfi Coast is unpredictable and unbearable. Here is the best way to get there...
1) Pre-arrange for a taxi from your accommodation in Ravello to Amalfi Port.
2) Pre-purchase roundtrip ferry tickets from Amalfi to Positano (download the FerryHopper app to purchase).
3) Enjoy beautiful Positano! Lounge on the main beach, shop and stroll, eat and spritz!
***Insider Tip: Do not drive to Positano! We highly recommend pre-booking your roundtrip taxi to/from Amalfi Port and taking the ferry. Give yourself plenty of time as ferries often run late. Wear flat shoes, Positano is a pedestrian town filled with lots of stairs and cobblestones.
***Positano Lunch Recommendations: Chez Black, Buca di Bacco, La Tagliata, Da Vincenzo.
