Money-Saving Tips
Stay in Salerno or Agerola and commute - accommodation runs 40-60% less than Positano or Amalfi town
Buy bus+ferry day passes rather than single tickets (typically saves 30% if you make 3+ journeys)
Eat lunch instead of dinner at sit-down places - same kitchens, 25-35% lower prices
Hike between towns (Path of the Gods, Valle delle Ferriere) rather than paying for transport - free and the views are the activity
Book ferries as foot passenger on slower routes (Salerno-Amalfi vs fast boat) for 50% savings
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Taking taxis between towns (€80-150 vs €2-3 bus) because bus timetables look confusing - download SITA app
Eating within 100m of the waterfront in Positano or Amalfi (expect 80-120% markup) instead of walking 5 minutes inland
Booking last-minute in May-September (prices typically double) rather than 4+ months ahead
Paying for beach clubs daily (€25-50) when public beaches are free and often equally scenic
