Ciao Amalfi

Positano · July 3, 2009

Taking the boat to Positano

 

100_9386

 

The easiest and most scenic way to move about on the Amalfi Coast is certainly by boat. You avoid the sometimes crowded public SITA buses, the traffic jams or periodic road blocks, and you get to see the beautiful Amalfi Coast from the sea. Yesterday I hopped on the 11:30am Travelmar boat from Amalfi  and I was in Positano just a few minutes past noon. It was a relaxing and lovely trip, and well worth the €6.00. While there are a variety of boat and jet options (depending on how fast and when you want to go) connecting the Amalfi Coast to Salerno, Sorrento, Capri and Naples, I highly recommend checking into the affordable Travelmar linea intercostiera.

The blogger/ expat meet up was lovely! I met Scintilla from Bell’Avventura, Leanne from From Australia to Italy, and several other expats living on the Amalfi Coast. We had lunch right near the beach at Le Tre Sorelle, where we sat and shared our stories, adventures, and dreams of living in Italy. I look forward to meeting up with these lovely ladies again in the near future!

On the pleasant boat ride back from Positano on the Maria Madre, I thought back to Scintilla’s post about the funny signs on the boat and chuckled. No firearms, check. Turn lights on to flush toilet, check. Don’t throw anything overboard unless a certain number of miles from the shore, check. Too funny! If this post has made you desperate for more Positano, head over to Bell’Avventura where you can find out about three new webcams in Positano.

    Ciao Joe! Thanks for your lovely comment and for introducing yourself. Always happy to meet new readers! 🙂

    Ciao Anne! It was so much fun! I had only met one of the ladies briefly before, so it was really fun to sit and enjoy lunch and get to know one another a bit more. I look forward to doing it again soon!

    Ciao Leanne! It was great to meet you! I look forward to getting that cafè when you pass by my way one of these days. Remind me to send you my mobile number.

    Ciao Lucia! Oh silly me … I was so busy chatting that I forgot to get the camera out and snap a few pictures. I guess we will just have to do it again! 🙂

    this is great information. I will be heading to the Amalfi coast in September and will be sure to "take a boat" Although it looks like the boats may not stop in Praiano which is where I'll be staying. bummer.

    Ciao Food Hunter! September on the Amalfi Coast is beautiful! You are right that there is no boat service in Priano. The city doesn't have a port, so your best bet will be going to Positano by bus and walking down to the port there. But the good news with that is you have plenty of chances to enjoy Positano! 🙂

This morning I said my goodbyes to Bruno Catalano’s “Travelers” on my morning walk. Tomorrow I’m off to be a traveler myself and they’ll likely be gone by the time I’m back. They’ve been good company, but it’s time for them to move on to their next destination. 🧳

I’m back! After some time in the USA with family I’m back! After some time in the USA with family, I’m back home in Amalfi and adjusting to the time with my usual early morning walks. What’s not usual is that there are so many people out and about now compared to when I left in July. At 7:30am this morning there were already people set up at the beach to get those first sun rays that you can see just hitting the beach. Very clever! The water is so clear and pretty in the morning. I enjoy watching the changes that come throughout the season. This morning there were two guys tossing a football on the beach. That was unexpected! 🏈
