From Naples airport to the port:
Upon request we can organise chauffeur driven cars from the airport to the port (about 7 kilometres away). For further details see the page with transfer information. Alternatively guests can take a taxi which takes 25-30 minutes and costs approx. E. 25.00 to either port (Beverello or Mergellina). To avoid unpleasant surprises always make sure that you take an authorised taxi fitted with a price-meter.
Decidedly cheaper but nonetheless comfortable are the private CLP buses which depart approx. every 30 minutes from outside the arrivals exit of terminal 1 and which go as far as Naples Central Station and Piazza Municipio, (just 100 yards from the port). The journey takes approx. 40 minutes while tickets cost approx. E. 2.00 and can be bought directly on board the bus. Those with a great deal of luggage could find the journey a little uncomfortable.

From Naples train station to the port:
There are three stations in Naples:
Napoli Centrale (where most of the long distance trains arrive), Mergellina and Campi Flegrei.
Napoli Centrale station is about 2 kilometres away from Molo Beverello which is best reached by taxi (which takes 10 minutes and costs about E. 10.00)
Mergellina station is about 300 yards from the port of the same name.
Campi Flegrei is at Fuorigrotta, on the northern outskirts of Naples. From here the most practical way to reach the ports is by taxi.

To the port of Naples by car:
Those arriving from the north should take the exit for Naples. Take the “tangenziale” and the exit for “Napoli” then, after approx. 15 kilometres take the exit for Fuorigrotta; from the south take the exit for Naples and follow directions for the port.
Remember that non-residents can only take their cars across to the island in low season, (roughly from November to the end of March), and only by ferry. (Prices E.22.47 for vehicles up to 4 metres, and E. 34.86 for vehicles over 4 metres)
Cars however on Capri are of little or no use.
Cars can be left in a number of secure and authorised car-parks in Naples. At Molo Beverello there is a fairly small outdoor car-park which costs approx. E. 12.00 a day. If this should be full there is also the "Interscambio Autosilo Brin” car-park situated in Via Brin which costs approx. E. 15.00 a day (call 081 7632827). Another alternative is the car-park in the Garage Chiatamone, located behind the Hotel Excelsior in Via Chiatamone which costs approx. E. 18.00 a day (call 081 7642863).
Those who decide to leave from Mergellina can use the car-park at the Mergellina Garage in Via G. Bruno, n. 112 , which costs from E.15.00 a day (call 081 7613470) or the San Nazaro Garage in Piazza San Nazaro, n. 142 which costs from E. 15.00 a day (call 081 681437).

To the port of Sorrento by car:
On the Naples – Salerno motorway, from either north or south take the exit for Castellamare di Stabia and follow the directions for Sorrento. From Piazza Tasso in the centre of Sorrento take the road down to the port at Marina Piccola.
Remember that non-residents can only take their cars across to the island in low season, (roughly from November to the end of March), and only by ferry. (Prices E.22.47 for vehicles up to 4 metres, and E. 34.86 for vehicles over 4 metres)
