Traveling by ferry is an excellent way to reach the Amalfi Coast. In fact, with its steep cliffs and inaccessible villages, the region is ideally suited to boat transport, and there should always be plenty of options to choose from. Between April and October, Volaviamare provides a daily service from Sorrento to Amalfi, with two sailings every day.
