Option 2: Ferry from Naples to Amalfi
Scenic ride along the coast — arguably one of the best views you'll get. Often faster than a car during heavy traffic (especially in high season). Usually cheaper (about ~€62 round trip per person).
There is a seasonal schedule, not ideal if you have a late arrival since most ferries stop at 5 - 6pm. Search for tickets and port location FerryHopper
Option 3: Train + Ferry or Bus
Take a train from Naples to Salerno (~40 mins, €6 ). Buy tickets at TrenItalia. Then take a ferry from Salerno to Amalfi (seasonal, scenic, ~35 mins). Or take a bus, SITA buses run this route regularly. it is inexpensive but might be curvy roads and give you motion sickness if prone to it (- 1hr)

Travel Tips for October

Pack light! Amalfi has lots of stairs and narrow roads. Luggage with wheels may be tricky. Bring lightweight clothing for the daytime and layers (like a sweater or light jacket) for cool mornings and evenings. Include comfortable walking shoes — most towns have steep, cobbled streets and stairs.

Early October weather is ideal: warm days (~70–75°F / 21–24°C), cooler nights, and swimmable water.
