Naples Port Ferry Overview
Napoli in Italy, is the capital of the region of Campania and of the province of Naples. The city is known for its rich history, art, culture and gastronomy, playing an important role throughout much of its existence; it is over 2,800 years old. Naples is located halfway between two volcanic areas, the volcano Mount Vesuvius and the Phlegraean Fields, sitting on the coast by the Gulf of Naples.
The port of Naples has several ferry, hydrofoil and SWATH catamarans services open to the general public, most of which are to places within the Neapolitan province such as Capri, Ischia and Sorrento, or the Salernitan province, such as Salerno, Positano and Amalfi. There are however some which go to destinations further afield, such as Sicily, Sardinia, Ponza and the Aeolian Islands.
Ferries depart from two ports in Naples: Molo Beverello and Mergellina. Ferry services run from Naples to local (and more distant) island destinations, as well as to other ports around the Bay of Naples and the Sorrento peninsular. Major destinations are Ischia, Procida, Capri and Sorrento. Beverello is the principal port for ferries, and it is fairly straightforward to reach from the main Naples train station, Stazione Centrale. |
