FAQs
April, May and September are great months to visit the Amalfi coast. With less crowds and lovely weather, it is a great time to explore.
The nearest airport to the Amalfi Coast is Naples. Many budget airlines fly there making it an affordable place to access.
Pintour offer a shuttle from Naples airport to the Amalfi coast, stopping at a variety of towns, which takes around an hour and 45 minutes.
You can also take a ferry from Naples Beverello port to Amalfi. The direct route will take around 2 hours.
Alternatively you can get a Taxi from Naples airport straight to your hotel. We did this in April and it cost us €130 for a large taxi for 5 people. It took around an hour and a half.
You can also take the train to Sorrento and then a bus to your location on the Amalfi coast. If you have lots of time you can stop off at Pompeii which is on the train route! They have a luggage storage space for a small fee.
There are definitely better places in Italy to visit with kids, but that isn’t to say you shouldn’t go.
If you do decide to head there with young children, consider leaving the pram at home and using a carrier or sling. There are lots of steps and hills meaning little kids could easily get tired.
If your kids love the beach and can be occupied with gelato and great food, then I’m sure they will love it!
You should plan to spend around 4-5 days in the Amalfi Coast. This will give you enough time to see a variety of towns and mooch around leisurely.
