Flight
The closest airport is Naples Capodichino Airport, located about 60 km (37 miles) to the north. However, there are no direct flights from Chicago, usually there is a stopover. Train: There is no direct train to Positano, but you can take the train from either Naples Airport or Rome Airport to a closer city on the Amalfi Coast like Sorrento or Salerno. Ferry: During the day you can take a ferry to Positano from either Naples, Sorrento, Salerno, and Amalfi. Just note that luggage will most likely have an additional cost to your ticket. Bus: The SITA bus to Positano is the cheapest way to get to Positano. For 2 Euro, you can take the 45-minute bus from Sorrento to Positano. The views from the bus are really spectacular too! Be sure to sit on the right side of the bus. Private Car Transfer: The most expensive, but efficient way to get to Positano is hiring a private car transfer from Naples Airport to Positano. The cost is around 100E+ but definitely the easiest.
Flight
Rome Fiumicino Airport connects with more cities. If you’re flying into Rome, consider that it will take you about 4 hours to reach the Amalfi Coast by public transportation. Rome to Amalfi train trips include a change in Naples to take the local Circumvesuviana commuter train to Sorrento and then the local bus. If your flight lands in the afternoon, consider spending a night in Rome or Naples & continuing your journey to the Amalfi Coast the next day given the distance from Rome to the Amalfi Coast. How to get to Positano: From the Rome Fiumicino airport, take the Leonardo Express shuttle train to the city's main Roma Termini railway station. From here take high-speed train to Naples. Once you arrive at the Napoli Centrale railway station, follow signs to the Circumvesuviana (the regional train located beneath the main railway station), and take the train to Sorrento (1hr). Outside the Sorrento railway station, you'll find the stop for the Sita bus headed to Positano-Amalfi.
