From Amalfi to Pompeii by ferry
For many people, traveling by ferry is scenic and exciting. However, if you want to travel from Amalfi to Pompeii, you won't be able to book a direct ferry trip. You must take a ferry to Salerno from Amalfi and then a train from Salerno to Pompeii. This can be tiring, and navigating the different modes of transportation can be challenging.
If you want to travel this way, consider booking with NLG or Travelmar for the ferry portion of your trip. In the peak season, several ferries run daily, but you might struggle to get a ferry outside of this season. You can expect to pay between $12 and $20 (€11-€18) for the ferry booking, and the trip will take more than an hour.
Then, when you take the train for the rest of the journey, you should expect to pay a further $4 to $8 (€3.60-€7.25). The train trip will take an hour to an hour and a half, which puts your trip length at around two to two and a half hours. So, although it's scenic, it's tiring and lengthy compared to alternatives like door-to-door car service Daytrip.
