By bus -from The Airport of Naples-Capodichino, at the main parking right in front of the arrivals terminal, is the bus stop from the Curreri line http://curreriviaggi.it which will take you to Sorrento in less than an hour. The ticket costs €10 and is purchased on-site from the driver. The bus has a large trunk. I recommend that you sit on the right side of the bus to enjoy the fantastic panorama of the Sorrentino Peninsula along the way. Below is a map of Naples airport car parks; buses to Sorrento stop at the orange car park. Buses to other famous tourist destinations leave from there too.

By Private Transport- http://sorrentoprivatedriver.com the last Bus from Naples Airport to Sorrento is at 21:30 in the summer and 19:30 in winter. If you have a late flight and arrive late, one of the alternatives is to take a taxi or a private transfer. The private transfer is preferable. You will not get charged more than 80-100 euros, and you will be sure that the driver will be waiting for you until you arrive.
From the airport, you need to take a public transport bus; the Alibus line will take you to Naples Central Station, located in Piazza Garibaldi. The ticket costs 5 euros, and you can buy it on the spot from the driver; this bus will take you to the central train station of Naples, which is in Piazza Garibaldi. From the central train station in Naples, it is enough to take Circumvesuviana Napoli-Sorrento, which costs only € 3.60, and in about an hour and 10min will take you to Sorrento. It is an intercity train and stops at every stop. The last stop is Sorrento, so you can’t go wrong. The Circumvesuviana is an intercity train, which can often be overflowing with passengers, and you may not find a place to sit. The Sorrento Train Station is in the center of the town. You will find the main bus stop, right in front of the train station, where all the buses to Naples Airport, Positano, Amalfi, Praiano, and the Amalfi Coast run.
