travel from Rome to Naples

I am arriving in Rome (from Australia) and need to get to Positano. I assume I could either catch a plane or train to Naples, and then train/car to Positano. Can anyone advise of a good (least travel time, rough cost comparison, stress level comparison) way of doing this. Any tips much appreciated.

Hi Irene - Plane would be expensive.

The usual options are:

1. Bus: Rome-Positano (- cheapest: € 20; 5hrs)

2. Train: Rome-Naples (€ 25+), then limo (- € 100 approx)

3. Train: Rome-Salerno (- then ferry)

4. Train: Rome-Naples (- then hydrofoil or public transport)

If cost is not an issue, 2 is the quickest and most hassle-free.

Hope this helps ...

Steve

What about 2<b>A</b>? I would think a one-way car rental from Naples to Positano would be much less than &euro;100 , no?

bardo, a limo from Naples to Positano will indeed cost around 100 Euro.
