How to go from Cinque Terre to the Amalfi Coast
 

i have a problem that is giving me itenerary writers block.......how do i go from cinque terre to the amalfi coast.....i have a feeling its going to take me one whole day so im hoping somebody can help me cut my trip time down or give me some cost efficient ways. im traveling in july so i know it will be busy.

There is no magic pill. It will take a day.

Jean is correct we had a direct train trip from Salerno ( Amalfi) to La Spezia, leaving at 6.15am and arriving around 3pm. Then local train to Cinque Terre. Depending on the station you arrive at on Amalfi it is quite a bus ride to the coast eg Salerno - Amalfi (1hr)

managia! but seriously i might be better off taking an easyjet flight from milan to naples. i dont particularly like milan though and thought there might be a better way.

Wouldn't Pisa to Naples be closer?

There is no easy way. You might check flights from genoa to Naples at whichbudget.com

no flights from pisa to naples but like the idea since i never even thought of that.

whichbudget is pretty cool guide.

if there was no big rental drop off fee id drive so this way i can control my departure time, stops etc.

There is no drop fee in Italy.
