After Your Flight: Travelling Along the Amalfi Coast

If you are flying into Naples International to travel on to the Amalfi Coast, then it could be a good idea to hire a car upon arrival at the airport.

If you are not planning on using a car to travel during your journey, rest assured that there are plenty of coach tours available along the Amalfi Coast.
