When traveling from Naples airport (NAP) to Positano, you have three different modes of transport; taxi, bus or ferry. Although taking the ferry may seem like a fun idea, this is the least convenient transfer option. There is no direct route from Naples Capodichino airport by ferry, so the journey will take around 115 minutes and cost 25€. The quickest and most convenient option is to take a Naples airport taxi to Positano. This journey takes only 80 minutes but costs around 90€ based on a taximeter. Your final and cheapest option is to take the bus. Again, this isn’t a direct transfer option, so will take approximately 125 minutes to reach Positano but costs just 12€.
