Rent a car and follow the Costiera Amalfitana. We stayed at Praiano (next to Positano) and we drove our car all the time. IT is one of the most pleasurable drives that you can experience. Fabulous!

Thanks Gala! Do you know if there is public transport at all? And I guess the driving will be ok even for an �������� driver novice?

Options;-

• Train, [or bus], to Sorrento, then bus to Positano
• Taxi
• Car hire - only if you need a car whilst you are there

We walked the Amalfi Coast one year [organised trip], mainly along the mule tracks on top of the cliffs- absolutely fantastic area. There is a bus service along the coast road, and a ferry service 

Well, Alan has answered the question, but yes, the bus service runs regularly and it is very popular. Parking in Positano  is limited and expensive. We were there last October and the area was still very busy. Be patient as roads are very narrow and there is a lot of traffic. 

It depends when you go, but the best way to arrive is take the hydrofoil either from Naples, Salerno or even Sorrento - and you avoid driving on the coast road.  Its also the quickest and simplest. 

Does anybody else wonder if this question was posted by admin in order to demonstrate how well their new "Yahoo Answers" format works?I guess you all proved them right after all.

The Amalfi Coast is best seen by boat rather than the road; also the road can be tediously busy in the summer, and parking is a nightmare, especially in Amalfi. Or why not go to Vietri sul Mare rather than Positano - it is less commercial and the ceramic shops more diverse and interesting, and the little town of Cetara next to it is delightful and the location for the latest Galaxy chocolate ad!
