The train/bus station and Marina Grande are just 1,5 Km on foot through the old city center (it’s a nice walk – without bags!). But if you carry many/heavy/big luggages, you must move by bus, because there are several stairs on the way that will make you arrive tired and sweaty.

• The bus ticket costs 1,30€ and can be purchased on board or in tobacco shops next to the bus stop.
• There are two lines operated by two companies: EAV (red and white bus) and Cooperativa Tasso (white and blue or with advertising bus).
• The color or model of the bus may differ from the one shown in the example images below.
• Marina Grande is the final stop on the line.
• The stop at the Sorrento train/bus station is on the right as you face the station. If space is limited, the bus may stop slightly before or just past the indicated spot.

Sorrento has two marinas:

• Marina Grande – An enchanting fishing village, home to Amoredimare and numerous restaurants. Private boat tours also depart from here.
• Marina Piccola – The main port of Sorrento, the starting point for ferries.

Although the distance on foot between Marina Piccola and Marina Grande is only 1.3 Km, it is strongly advised not to walk, unless traveling light, at most with a backpack. The pedestrian path includes some stair ramps and irregular stone pavement, not suitable for carrying luggage – click here for walking directions.

How to move between Marina Grande and Marina Piccola with luggage?

• TAXI – It is the most convenient way to travel between the two marinas with luggage. The cost of the journey is around 30€.
• Bus (with transfer) – Bus from Marina Piccola to the Station (click here for schedules) + bus from the Station to Marina Grande (see the previous FAQ for schedules); the reverse itinerary is also valid. However, this solution can be slow due to the transfer.
• On foot + elevator – Marina Piccola is connected to the center of Sorrento by an elevator service (click here to visit the official website), which allows avoiding the steeper stretch of stairs. However, this option is not recommended if you are carrying luggage.

Naples Capodichino is the nearest airport and is 54 Km away from Sorrento.
