By sea
By ferry: Salerno’s two piers
Molo Manfredi
Next to the Maritime Terminal: boats to Capri and the Bay of Naples also leave from here, mainly from spring to autumn.
Open in Maps ↗In winter there are far fewer sailings, and they can be cancelled in rough seas. Times and fares change: always check and buy on the operator’s website the day before.
By land
By bus or car
SITA bus
Salerno–Amalfi along the coast, stopping at Vietri, Cetara, Erchie, Maiori, Minori and Atrani. About 75 minutes, one bus every 30–60 minutes. Unico Campania tickets at newsagents and tobacconists, day tickets too.
SITA timetable ↗By car
The Amalfi Coast road is beautiful but narrow: in summer and at weekends traffic is slow and parking is expensive. From April to October the ferry is the better choice; in winter a car is easier.
Route in Maps ↗From Salerno Costa d’Amalfi airport
The Salerno Airlink bus connects the airport to Salerno station in about 40 minutes; tickets can also be bought on board. From the station it’s a 10-minute walk to the pier.

Ferry in season; very few sailings in winterTips from locals
For a smooth day out
- Take the first ferry of the morning and come back in the afternoon: in summer the last ones fill up.
- Ferry one way, bus the other and you see the coast from the sea and from the road.
- Rough sea? Sailings may be cancelled: keep the SITA bus as plan B.
- Staying in Salerno costs less than on the coast and is half an hour by sea from Amalfi.
