BY CAR
Sorrentine Peninsula can be reached from Naples via the
[A3] Highway “Salerno-Reggio Calabria”. Stay on this road until you reach the
exit for Castellammare di Stabia, wich is on the northern side of the Sorrentine
peninsula and is linked to Sorrento by “Statale 145”. When you are on this road
follow signs for Sorrento and Positano. You will then reach your final
destination. The road is a concrete ribbon that rewards visitors with
mountain-meets-sea views at every turn, but driving it, as well as the narrow
hairpin roads of the Sorrentine peninsula, can be both a joy and a challenge.
