Ports of Naples for Capri, Ischia and Procida: guide to Molo Beverello, Mergellina and Pozzuoli (with SNAV connections)

Are you thinking about a future trip to one of the islands in the Gulf of Naples between Ischia, Procida or Capri? Are you taking a vacation in Naples, but would you like to visit Capri and you don't know how to get there? You are in the right place then, because playing at home, we give you a clear and updated guide to choosing the port and the right way to reach it, how and by what means to get to the port without stress and without spending a lot of money.

• Molo Beverello (city center): it is the hydrofoils/hydrofoils terminal for Capri, Ischia, Procida and other Gulf routes; it is the most used pier and best connected to the center.
• Mergellina (Posillipo/Chiaia side): smaller, seasonal port for some quick trips; useful if you're staying in the Chiaia-Posillipo area. Some connections (such as the Tyrrhenian archipelagos) depart according to the seasonality of the operators. Always check for updated schedules.
• Pozzuoli (Flegrea area): excellent alternative to Ischia and Procida with ferries and motor ships (even with cars on board). Often more convenient and cheaper for those who are west of Naples or for those who want to bring cars or campers in tow.

• From the airport (Capodichino): take ALIBUS → stop at Piazza Garibaldi (Station) and the Maritime Station — Molo Angioino/Beverello. Direct, fast service, with continuous operation. Naples airports
• From the station (Napoli Centrale/Garibaldi): Metro Line 1 to City Hall (5—8 min) + 300—600 m walk to the pier; alternatively bus 151 to Via Acton. beverellosrl.it+1
• Taxi: urban fare (often a flat rate dedicated to the station ↔ port).
• MeTour private transfer: on request we will take you directly to the boarding gate (convenient with baggage/children).

• From the station: Line 2 (Trenitalia metro railway) to Mergellina; from the square ~500 m walk to the port. Wikipedia+1
• From the airport: ALIBUS to Garibaldi, then Line 2 to Mergellina. traghettiup.com
• Useful buses in the area: 101, 140, 151, C16. Moovit

• From the station (Garibaldi/Centrale): Line 2 to Pozzuoli (Solfatara), then 10—20 min walk to the port; alternatively the Cumana from Montesanto to Pozzuoli. Ferryhopper+2 eavsrl.it+2
• From the airport: ALIBUS to Garibaldi → Line 2 or Cumana to Pozzuoli. Naples airports
• Note: typical times 30—50 min train + short walk; check schedules based on the day. traghettiup.com
• MeTour private transfer: recommended if you are traveling in a group or with a lot of equipment.

Local suggestion, from Neapolitans :-): in high season book in advance and buy tickets for SNAV vehicles on-line on Metour.it (soon on-line) and show up 20—30 minutes early; with rough seas, hydrofoils may be stops/delays, while ferries are more stable but slow.

• Beverello vs Mergellina vs Pozzuoli: if you stay downtown or arrive by train, focus on Beverello; if you stay in Chiaia/Posillipo, Mergellina may be useful (but with fewer trips); if you are in the Campi Flegrei or have cars, consider Pozzuoli.
• Luggage & kids: faster hydrofoils, more spacious ferries; stroller ok, but check with the company for rules on animals/bulky luggage.
• Weather & security: with high wind/wave, fast services may be suspended; always check the day's run.
• Door-to-door transfers: we at MeTour organize private transfers from airport and station to ports (and back), coordinating your boarding times.
