There are many car rental services at the airport. Expect a wait during peak season. Make sure to take video footage when picking up the car and dropping it back. The drive to Sorrento is approximately 1 hour 20 minutes depending on traffic. Be sure to have some spare change in euro's or a bank card ready as there is a toll on the motorway (about 2.10 euro).
Door to door private transfer in an airconditioned car or van. Prices are looking at approximately 150 Euro one way. Prices will also depend on timings of the pick up.
We wouldn't recommend getting a taxi from the airport or once in Sorrento. They are extremely expensive, it can cost 15 euro just for stepping inside the car.
The Curreri Viaggi Bus runs directly from Naples Airport's main Bus Station (this can be found a little further up from the Alibus stop, about a 5-minute walk from the airport terminal) to Sorrento train station.
The cost is 10 Euro and tickets can be bought online at www.curreriviaggi.it. Be sure to check the timings as they don't run very frequently and book in advance as the bus fills up quickly. The bus also arrives 10 minutes before its departure and will not wait. So, make sure you have plenty of time from your flight arrival to get to the bus station and on the bus before it departs.
To do this, you will first have to use the public bus service from Naples Airport
The Alibus station is directly in front of the Airport terminal, a short walk up the main road and they run approximately 20 minutes to the Stazione Centrale (the main train station). Alternatively, you can continue, on the bus to Beverello/Stazione Marittima (the main ferry port).
You can buy Alibus tickets at the airport, at the vending machines, located on the ground floor of the arrivals area. You can also buy the tickets on the bus, but they work out a little more expensive.
Travel time is around 30 minutes to the train station, depending on traffic and 40 minutes to the port.
Pros: Cheapest way to travel, you may like the hustle and bustle of experiencing public transport.
Cons: Expect queues at the bus stop and not much space on the bus as they can get very busy within the peak season (May–Oct). Also, space for luggage is limited.
Train Naples Garibaldi Station (Stazione Centrale)
The train to Sorrento can be taken from Garibaldi Station, to get here from the airport you can take the Alibus. Please see above.
There are two trains you can choose from, the public Circumvesuviana or the Campania Express.
The Circumvesuviana is a public train and it runs every 30 minutes. The journey time can be anywhere between 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 and a half hours depending on which train you get and the number of stops.
Be sure to get your ticket before boarding the train.
Pros: Cheapest way.
Cons: Very busy, no luggage space, no toilets and generally no AC! Unfortunately, pick-pocketers are rife on this train so do be careful with your belongings and don't have anything expensive on display.
The Campania Express is a private service that was introduced to connect Naples to Sorrento and the historical sites i.e., Pompeii and Ercolano (Herculaneum). This train is not as frequent, but the journey time is much quicker (approx. 45 mins).
Pros: This train is less crowded, you are more likely to get a seat and there are spaces for luggage.
Cons: The cost is much higher than that of the Circumvesuviana, about 3 times the price.
By Ferry
The ferries run from Beverello Port. There are many different ferry operators running to and from Sorrento so times may vary. You can find a list of options at:
https://www.ferryhopper.com/en/ferry-routes/direct/ferry-naples-sorrento-traghetti
Pros: Arrive by Sea, the journey time is only 45 minutes.
Cons: The ferry brings you to Marina Piccola Sorrento. The walk from here to the main square Piazza Tasso is up a very steep hill or flights of stairs which can be quite difficult in the heat (especially with luggage). There is a lift (approx, 1.20 Euro) but you must walk about 5 minutes to get to it past the bathing platforms on a narrow pathway. The lift will take you to Villa Comunale, so you then must consider the walk to your accommodation from there.
We would recommend having a look at package holiday deals with companies such as TUI and JET2. Not only do they provide some great hotels in Sorrento, but they include your transfers to and from the airport and your flights.
There is parking available on site at the wedding venue. The address is:
Capo Santa Fortunata
13, Via Calata Punta Capo,
Sorrento,
Campania,
80067,
Italy
We wouldn't recommend getting the bus, but if worse comes to worse, take any bus heading towards Massa Lubrense and ask the driver to let you know when it is the stop for Bagni della Regina Giovanna and then it's a short walk from the bus stop to the venue.
We will be organising two shuttle bus services to and from the venue, timings and exact locations to be confirmed. But one will be from Sorrento centre and one from Sant'Agata Sui Due Golfi. If you would like to use one of these services please let us know which one, so we can make sure there is enough room for everyone. The buses will state our name or the venue name and will depart on time so make sure not to miss them!
Taxi's in Sorrento are extremely expensive. There are many taxi ranks in Piazza Tasso and the train station. The journey time is approximately 10 minutes. The venue is situated outside of the city centre, so there are no taxi's available at the end of the evening. If you would require a taxi back before the evening ends we would recommend pre booking a private transfer.
