The three essentials in the order the road puts them: Positano first thing, while you can still park; Amalfi and its cathedral at midday; and up to Ravello in the afternoon, three hundred metres higher, where you see the whole coast at once. Fifty kilometres that take three hours of hairpins: the bus is calmer than the car.

💡Think twice before driving the SS163
It is narrow, hangs off the cliff, and the line buses take up nearly the whole width: meeting one on a bend means reversing. And parking runs four to six euros an hour in the villages, when there is space at all. The SITA bus covers the whole coast, and in summer the boat between villages beats the road.
💡August is the worst month, and not only for the crowds
In August the heat, the cruise ships and the Italian holidays all land at once: the villages seize up, prices jump and the bus goes past full. May, June and September have the same sea and half of everything else. From October many hotels and boats close until Easter, so check before booking off-season.
💡There is no flat ground here: count steps, not kilometres
Positano, Atrani, Praiano and Ravello are hillsides, and moving around them means going up and down all the time. Three hundred metres on the map can be two hundred steps. Wear shoes with a sole, not flat sandals, and if you are travelling with someone who struggles with slopes, factor it into where you sleep.
