During the months of July and August and during summer holidays, the SS163 road connecting Salerno to the main towns along the Amalfi Coast can be completely congested and, no matter how stunning the scenery from the car window may be, it is never a pleasant experience.

But if you are not used to driving on narrow roads, the best option is to use the public bus and ferry services.
