I'm pretty sure you can take a boat from Naples to almost any town along the coast. If not, in seaso

During our forthcoming trip to Italy in August, I would like to visit Naples and Amalfi Coast as a day trip from Rome. Is this feasible and if so what are the best options with a tight budget. We are a family of 4. Is it economical to hire a car from Naples and then proceed to Amalfi Coast or is there any other economical means of transport? Pls help with your suggestions.
Almost anything is feasible but practical is another matter. toronto car rent alamo It is at least 2 hours on fast train from Rome to Naples by the time you pick up car add another hour if your going DIY. The drive down the coast is fairly good till you hit Sorrento then generally speaking it is bumper to bumper traffic slowly moving down the coat road to Amalfi think like 1.5-2 hours,the hassle of finding a place to park the car and IMHO nerve racking drive, you arrive exhausted. Then you have the return journey. Hiring a car and driver toronto car rent alamo direct from Rome will run you anywhere from 200-300 per person ball park figures. If the children are smaller this is a very very long day.
yes train and bus combined, you would take the local train from Naples to Sorrento and from there, there is a bus that runs down the coast. The train takes appx 45min-1 hour, stops at every stop along the way. You get bus ticket in Sorrento train station walk outside toronto car rent alamo and across the street. For best views sit on right side unless someone can't handle edge of cliff type road.
I'm pretty sure you can take a boat from Naples to almost any town along the coast. If not, in season, you can definitely do that from Sorrento. It is much more pleasant to travel by boat than car or bus or train.
