SITA BUS
We advise you to print the SITA schedule presented in the
following table and keep it safe with all the other documents youll be bringing on
holiday with you to the Amalfitana coast.
Youll definitely need this information every time you decide to depart from our
parking lot to go on an outing to
Amalfi
(7 Km), Positano
(7 Km), Ravello
(13 Km.), Sorrento (20Km.) or to other centres of attraction on the Sorrentina-Amalfitana
coast.
While staying comfortably seated and relaxed you will be able to admire the rugged
coastline with its sheer precipices plunging into the sea and floods of curves, each with
a breathtaking panorama of its own that varies with the bends in the road.
So
enjoy these beautiful moments even before your vacation has begun, because our
curvaceous main road (A163) as beautiful as it is, isnt easy to drive on.
Tickets are not bought aboard the buses but can be obtained on any premises that displays the sign reproduced here. Caution: keep your ticket safe, as a fine of 60,00 Euro is levied on passengers not in possession of a valid ticket.
The SITA service offers
air-conditioned buses driven by tried and tested drivers as a great alternative to cars
and connects the various centres all day long.
Using the SITA buses is a really novel and enjoyable experience which is certainly
different to that offered by a normal city bus service.
In Sorrento, bus station with timetables are outside the railway station and in the
central piazza.
