Sorrento Sita Bus

SITA is a large bus company with operations in the Veneto, Tuscany, Basilicata, and Puglia in addition to Campania.  They are the primary provider of bus service along the Amalfi Coast (although the larger towns have local bus companies as well).


It's very easy to take the bus from close to our hotel down the Amalfi Coast.  From Sorrento to Positano takes under an hour, from Sorrento to Amalfi by bus takes about an hour and forty minutes.  If you want to go further down the coast, to Vietri sul Mare or Salerno, you would switch buses at Amalfi.

Tickets for the SITA buses are handled by UnicoCampania (see previous post).  The ticket between Sorrento and Amalfi is the E4, which costs €2,80 one way, or €8,40 for the day.

A ticket between Sorrento and Vietri sul Mare is the E5, which costs €3,30 one way and €9,90 for an all day ticket.

The timetable for buses between Sorrento, Positano and Amalfi can be found here.

There are also local buses in Sorrento, run by Circumvesuviana.  These buses are orange and are called "Arancioni".  Line A passes in front of our hotel and goes to Piazza Tasso in the center of town.
