Around the Amalfi Coast like a local | One week itinerary trip

It's a picturesque encounter between natural beauty throughout the stretch of coastline, charm of vintage fisherman villages, and colorful architecture. You will be amazed by the crystal clear water, idyllic beauty, pastel colors perched little towns, terraced gardens of lemon trees, and delicious food (and limoncello!)

Introduction

The Amalfi Coast is one of these places where your trip experience will depend a lot on how well you have planned the trip and the transportation to move around. It's a pretty common mistake to assume that taxis and Uber are fairly available throughout the coast, or that it's not too important to worry in advance about parking and traffic situations... Well it is!! There is only one main road on the coast (SS 163), and during peak season (mainly July and August) the traffic can be very heavy and the parking is extremely limited. Here some of the things to consider:

- As in many other Italian cities, Uber is not available on the Amalfi Coast

- Taxis are extremely expensive anywhere on the coast, even only for few km/miles. They can cost between 50-150 Euro one way

- Buses are available, cheap, and there are many bus stops (even if at times not super visible when located just on the SS 163 road). However, in July and August some fares cannot accommodate all the demand, and you might end up in a situation where the bus is so full that is not letting more people in. Also, traffic can be bad

Unless you have the budget to hire a private driver taking you around the places for the whole trip, your best way to discover the coast is by having a mix and match of day trips by ferry/boat/bus starting from Salerno, the first city on the southern side of the Amalfi Coast and also the biggest city among the ones on the coast.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

MartiPolo | Explore like a local

🌍Hi, I’m Martina! Originally from the sunny south of Italy, I’ve had the privilege of calling many places around the world my home. Born in Puglia and raised in Salerno at the gateway to the Amalfi Coast, my journey has led me across continents. From studying in Milano, Berlin, Ahmedabad (India) to working in Bristol (UK) and Tampa (USA), and volunteering in Northern Mexico and Rwanda—I’ve had the chance to truly immerse myself in diverse cultures. Lastly, I’ve spent months backpacking across Asia. I love spending my time playing beach volleyball, scuba diving, cooking vegetarian food or reading about geopolitics and sustainability topics. But above all, I’m a traveler who loves to explore destinations deeply, beyond the typical tourist path. Having traveled to over 60 countries, I know what it's like to want insider knowledge from someone who truly knows a place. That’s exactly what I offer in my travel guides—local insights and detailed tips from someone who’s lived and breathed the cities I write about!👉🗺️
