The Curreri coaches connect the airport of Naples with Sorrento and viceversa. The ticket costs 10 euros, while the trip, usually, lasts
less than one hour and a half. However, in summer, the busses' scheduling may not be respected due to the traffic jams caused
by the large number of tourrists' cars. The stop in Sorrento corresponds to the Sorrento's station and is the last one.

An alternative to the Curreri busses is provided by the
Alibus, a Naples city-bus, which connects the airport with the train station and the dock of Naples.
