Traslado en coche privado de Rome Fiumicino Airport a Positano

As you head south, the landscape opens up into miles of vineyards eager for the sun. With someone else navigating Italy’s infamous roads, you’ll finally be able to relax after a long flight.

When Positano comes into view, your driver will take you straight to your accommodation and unload your luggage. Welcome to the Amalfi Coast!

Their impact on maritime culture is still seen today. The “Amalfi Laws” were the first set of global maritime laws and became the bedrock of the legal system in the modern age. Amalfi sailors also perfected the modern compass.

In 1343, Positano was swept into the Tyrrhenian Sea by a tsunami that destroyed the ports, ships, and any buildings on the shore. The resident population never fully recovered from the disaster and Positano remained a small village for the next several hundred years.

Positano’s comeback

Positano was a blip on the global travel radar until the 1950s when John Steinbeck published “Positano Bites Deep” in the May 1953 edition of Harper’s Bazaar. This jump-started tourism to Positano and the broader Amalfi Coast region. Today, it is a popular vacation destination with Italians and foreigners alike.

Arrange both of your airport transfers before your flight to Rome

If you will also be departing from the Rome Airport, take the time before your vacation starts to book both your arrival and departure transfer services to the airport. Once you arrive at FCO, you’ll be able to fully relax and put your brain in vacation mode.

Because the Rome Airport to Positano transfer is so long, arranging your trip back to the airport in advance guarantees your entire family will be able to travel together and make it to the flight.

Hire a private driver to have the convenience and speed of driving without all of the extra logistics. Your driver will take you from the arrivals hall of FCO to your accommodation in Positano quickly, easily, and without you hauling luggage all over Italy.

The drive is three hours and 40 minutes, and prices start from $103 (€95) per passenger.

Rome Fiumicino Airport to Positano with public transportation

Southern Italy’s public transportation connections leave much to be desired, especially when you are tired from a flight and carrying suitcases. To make your way from Rome Fiumicino Airport to Positano by public transportation, your trip will take approximately five hours and look something like this:

1. Ride the train for 30 minutes from the airport to Roma Termini (Rome’s central train station).
2. Transfer to another train for 1.5 hours to either Naples or Salermo.
   1. From Naples, take a 1.5-hour long taxi or local bus to Positano.
   2. From Salerno, ride the ferry for 35 minutes to Positano.
3. Positano is stacked nearly vertically up the cliffside, so after the ferry ride, it will be all uphill to your accommodation unless you call a taxi.

The entire hike is 5.8 miles (9 km) and has been rated “moderately difficult” by hiking guides. While this entire hike might not be suitable for all ages and skill levels, there are shorter sections you can try with trailheads in Positano.

Fill your plate in Positano

Positano’s cuisine heavily features fresh seafood right from its shores. Pull up a chair at one of its many restaurants with outdoor patios for some spaghetti alle vongole (spaghetti with clams) and pesce all’acqua pazza (fish cooked in broth).

The Positano sun literally grows on trees! Limoncello is a sweet liqueur made from lemons, the region’s most popular fruit. It is incredibly popular and the main symbol of Positano’s gastronomy. Lemoncello is served in a shot glass, but don’t shoot it just yet! This drink is meant to be sipped and savored.

If you’re still craving lemons, head to a bakery for Delizia al Limone. This rich pastry is a delicacy that is difficult to find outside of this region of Italy. It has a tart and sweet flavor profile.
