The Stunning SS163 Coastal Road from Sorrento to Positano

The transfer from Sorrento to Positano follows one of the most celebrated stretches of road in the world: the SS163 Amalfi Coast road. Built into the cliff face high above the Mediterranean, this narrow, winding road offers views that few other drives anywhere on earth can match. From the moment you leave Sorrento and begin the coastal section, the landscape becomes increasingly dramatic, with sheer drops to the sparkling sea below and lush Mediterranean vegetation clinging to the rocky hillsides.

Views of the Li Galli Islands

One of the highlights of the Sorrento to Positano drive is the view of the Li Galli islands, a small archipelago just off the coast. According to legend, these were the islands of the Sirens from Homer's Odyssey, where enchanting creatures lured sailors to their doom. The islands were once owned by the famous Russian ballet dancer Rudolf Nureyev. On a clear day, the turquoise water surrounding the islands creates a stunning contrast with the limestone rocks. Your driver can stop at a panoramic viewpoint so you can take photographs of this extraordinary sight before continuing into Positano.

Cliff-Edge Driving by Professionals

The Amalfi Coast road is famously narrow, with tight hairpin bends and sections where two vehicles can barely pass. For many visitors, the idea of driving this road themselves is daunting, particularly after experiencing it for the first time. This is precisely why a private transfer with a professional driver is the ideal choice. Our drivers travel this road every day and know every curve, every passing point, and every section where care is needed. You can sit back in the comfort of your Mercedes, enjoy the air conditioning, and take in views that would be impossible to appreciate if you were behind the wheel yourself.

Arriving in Positano

As you approach Positano, the village reveals itself gradually: first as a cascade of pastel-coloured buildings tumbling down the cliff face, and then in greater detail as you descend toward the village. Your driver will bring you as close as possible to your accommodation. Hotels along the upper road offer straightforward drop-off, while those in the lower village are accessed via the one-way road that loops through Positano. Your driver will advise on the best drop-off point based on your specific hotel and help with your luggage.

Sorrento to Positano: Private Transfer vs. Public Bus

The SITA public bus runs between Sorrento and Positano along the same coast road. While inexpensive, the bus experience during peak season can be challenging: buses are often standing-room only, luggage storage is limited, and the ride can feel uncomfortable on winding roads in a crowded vehicle. A private transfer offers a completely different experience:
