Another AC Ferry Question
 

Thanks for all the advice to date - my trip is really shaping up! We will be in the AC area for several days in late September. I am trying to check ferry info for Sorrento-Amalfi and Sorrento-Naples and seem to find only a couple of sailings/day to Naples and not many more to Amalfi. I had expected more frequent trips - am I missing something or mis-reading it? Is there more than one company providing ferry service?
Thanks as always.

Hi Conlet -

NAPOLI to SORRENTO (- from Molo Beverello):

Deps: 9.00; 11.00; 13.05; 15.00; 17.15; 19.30.

SORRENTO to NAPOLI (- to Molo Beverello)

Deps: 8.20; 9.45; 12.00; 13.45; 16.25; 18.50.

All services are weather-permitting, of course.

Hope this helps ...

Thanks, Steve, I see what the problem is - I was just looking at the hydrofoil schedules! Duh!

We are thinking of taking the ferry from Sorrento to Naples for a day trip. What could we reasonably do in about 6-7 hours?
I can walk some distances but have arthritic knees, so... are there hop-on hop-off buses, or other efficient ways of seeing the city?
We will not be spending a lot of time at the museum - will save this for the next trip. Just want to get an overview of the city and eat some good pizza!
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks again.

There are hop-on hop-off bus tours, Conlet. Here's a link:

Thanks yet again, Steve.
