I concur with greuzi's advice that if you opt to go, explain to your driver you have a nervous passenger. No Amalfi taxi driver wants a vomiting passenger.

A bus driver won't care, however, so I'd skip that.

Oh, the stopping and starting on the bus from Positano to Amalfi... I get sick just thinking about it.

Totally agree that KITTI needs to tell us if this is a fear or nausea issue.

I have no fear of any part of the AC roads, but I have motion sickness on those roads...

My suggestion would be to travel by boat from Naples, stopping in Positano and Amalfi. The view from the boat is spectacular and for some, better than the view from a car or bus traveling the coast road.

Has anyone tried sucking on ginger candy? Ginger is very settling for the stomach.

Unless one tends to get seasick.

to fred_Mckenzie: I didn't say to rent a car. I said to hire a driver. I don't think someone who is not used to driving in Italy should be driving on the AC.

As far as sickness...As I mentioned before, the wheel goes immediately left, right, left, right.....you decide.

Thank you all so much for all of the advice concerning the winding and twisty roads on the Amalfi coast drive. My concern is the nausea not the scariness of the drive. Just watching the youtube of the Amalfi coast was enough to put me over right here on my computer. The suggestion to get to Amalfi and Positano from Naples was also a good suggestion. I had taken ginger pills on a cruise in Mexico and that did not help in the least.
Thanks again. We will find another way to get there or just visit Capri.
