Getting There & Away
AIR
Capodichino airport
(NAP; 081 789 61 11;
www.gesac.it
)
, 7km northeast of the city centre, is
southern Italy's main airport, linking Naples with most Italian and several major European
cities. Budget carrier easyJet has several connections to/from Naples, including London
(Gatwick and Stansted), Paris (Orly) and Berlin (Schönefeld).
BOAT
Naples, the bay islands and the Amalfi Coast are served by a comprehensive ferry net-
work. There are several ferry and hydrofoil terminals in central Naples.
Molo Beverello
, right in front of Castel Nuovo, services fast ferries and hydrofoils for
Capri, Sorrento, Ischia (both Ischia Porto and Forio) and Procida. Some hydrofoils for
Capri, Ischia and Procida also leave from Mergellina, 5km further west.
Molo Angioino
, right beside Molo Beverello, services slow ferries for Sicily, the Aeolian
Islands and Sardinia.
Calata Porta di Massa
, beside Molo Angioino, services slow ferries to Ischia, Procida and
Capri.
Ferry services are pared back considerably in the winter, and adverse sea conditions
may affect sailing schedules.
The tables list hydrofoil and ferry destinations from Naples. The fares, unless otherwise
stated, are for a one-way, high-season, deck-class single.
Tickets for shorter journeys can be bought at the ticket booths on Molo Beverello, Cal-
ata Porta di Massa or at Mergellina. For longer journeys try the offices of the ferry com-
panies or a travel agent.
