-
By bus
The local SITA bus company run buses all over the Amalfi Coast with excellent connections to Amalfi, Ravello, Positano, Salerno and Sorrento.
However for Positano and Sorrento, you will have to get off and change buses in Amalfi, which is the main SITA hub on the coast.
Tickets cannot be purchased on board; they can be bought at Gino's Bar Sirena and at Bar Oriente, both on the lungomare -
By ferry
Coop Sant'Andrea [http://www.coopsantandrea.com] are the major ferry company servicing the coast and operate summer ferry services to Maiori from Salerno, Minori and Amalfi.
Metro' del mare also operate a ferry service along the Amalfi Coast. -
By scooter
Renting a scooter is the best way to get round. However, only experienced motorcycle riders should rent one: do not rent one otherwise, as the roads are narrow and can be very dangerous for inexperienced riders. European A (motorcycle) lycences are of course recognized. If you don't have a European licence and/or a car licence only, check with your local Italian consulate. Italian B (car) licences entitle you to ride scooters up to 125cc, but not all foreign ones do. Also bear in mind that parking is not free of charge in most towns along the coast, and that scooters will soon be towed away if parked inappropriately.
* Maiorauto: scooter and motorcycle dealer on via Nuova Chiunzi. Has been renting scooters for decades
* Garage next to the Panorama Hotel. Rents Piaggio Liberty 125cc

filter_dramaDoGo to the beach. Mayor Stefano Della Pietra attracted wide criticism for privatizing most of the beach, making it effectively impossible to go to the beach without paying a fee. This is a politically sensitive issue always subject to change: always verify what the latest situation is. He was also criticized when, as a mayor, he had a nice fountain and a small garden built in front of the Hotel Panorama, which happens to belong to his family
* Giardini Palazzo Mezzacapo off Corta Regina. Lovely garden with water fountains. Often has free live concerts. -
filter_dramaBuyThe Corsa Reginna and the 'lungomare Amendola' (the street along the sea) are the main streets of the town and therefore the main locations for shopping.
Ceramics and limoncello (a lemon liquer) are among the most renowned local specialties. An excellent ceramic store is based at the end of the lungomare, opposite the Nettuno restaurant. -
filter_dramaEatFor all the young and hip, Maiori has a huge festival for the Santa Maria on the 15th of August.

* Pasticceria Napoli, also on Corso Reginna, has great pastries
* Pasticciera Trieste, on Corso Reginna as well, has a more limited selection of pastries, but the so called "sospiri" (literally: sobs) should be tried
* Ristorante Mammato and La Vela: on the lungomare, one next to the other. Mammato is the oldest but they are both good value for money
* Torre Normanna (Norman Tower): lovely location, but extremely expensive
* Nettuno: nice restaurant and pizzeria at the end of the lungomare, towards the Torre Normanna -
