How to reach Positano by bus

• In Praiano, buses serve as a primary mode of transportation for reaching neighboring areas like Positano. To get to Positano via bus from Praiano, you'll need to access the main coastal road through either Via Roma or Via Capriglione. From there, you can use the Sitasud bus, which departs from several main stops—numbers 7, 9, 10, or 12.

• Additionally, if you're near any bus stops numbered 1 through 15, you can utilize the Positano-Praiano bus operated by the Mobility company. However, it's important to note that the Mobility bus line doesn't extend to areas like Via Costantinopoli, Cella, or Pestiello which is the upper part of Praiano. In those cases, you'll need to make your way to stops serviced by Mobility or Sitasud buses.

• Upon arrival in Positano, the recommended stop to disembark is LA SPONDA. From there, you can take a pleasant walk along via Colombo, which will lead you to the town center of Positano. If you're interested in exploring Positano's beaches while avoiding the heavy tourist crowds during peak seasons, consider visiting Arienzo, Fornillo, or Laurito beaches for a more serene experience and also more affordable sunbeds’ rentals.

• When departing from Positano to head back to Praiano, it's advisable to board the bus at the initial stops within Positano. Terminal Prisco or Piazza Dei Mulini are the primary starting points for buses departing from Positano towards Praiano. Boarding the bus from these initial stops increases the likelihood of securing a seat and ensures a smoother journey, especially during peak travel times when buses might get crowded as they pick up many additional passengers along the route. 

• Using a bus over a car to reach Positano is a smart choice due to the complexities and high costs associated with parking in the area. The limited availability and high expense of parking spaces in Positano make using public transportation, like buses, a more convenient and cost-effective option for travelers.

• For those seeking an alternative and more unique mode of transportation, water taxis offer another way to reach Positano. However, this method tends to be more complicated and costly compared to using buses. If you're interested in exploring this option, I can assist in obtaining a quote and making a booking for a water taxi to ensure a smooth journey to the beaches of Positano. Just provide me with the necessary details, and I'll help facilitate the reservation process for you.

• While Positano is well-equipped with a pier and serves as a departure point for ferry companies heading to various destinations like Capri, Amalfi, Naples, Ischia, Salerno, and Maiori, Praiano lacks a similar pier for larger ferry boats. As a result, travelers from Praiano typically rely on either Positano or Amalfi as departure points to reach the main nearby towns via ferry.

• Marina di Praia in Praiano mainly accommodates water taxis or smaller tourist tours using small boats. This limitation means that for larger ferry journeys to neighboring towns or islands, travelers will need to make their way to Positano or Amalfi to access the ferry services departing from those piers. However, the smaller boats and water taxis from Marina di Praia can still offer unique and enjoyable experiences for exploring the coastal areas nearby.
