The most popular ports in Naples are Molo Beverello, Calata Porta di Massa, Mergellina and Porto di Pozzuoli.
If your schedule also includes a couple of days to visit the islands, this article would come in handy to understand how to go around and reach the main port: Molo Beverello.
This is the most favoured port – along with Calata Porta di Massa port – for one day trips or longer journeys, to Capri, Ischia, Procida, but also Ponza and Ventotene.
This is also where Metrò del Mare set out. It connects Naples to Cilento and Amalfi Coast.
Molo Beverello is just across Maschio Angioino, and it is connected to the port of Calata Porta di Massa. It is 1 km away, and you could reach it by a free shuttle.
You have different options to reach the port, according to the means of transport you would choose to go to Naples.
From our rooms in Napoliving, you could also reach the port by walking. If you are going to stay with us, you would save some time in your schedule to visit the city, but also to embark for the islands.

Once you land at Capodichino Airport, you can take the ‘Alibus’ line to reach Molo Beverello.
The route is Airport/Station/Port and backwards, it leaves every 20 minutes and it takes around 40 minutes.

If you choose to walk, Naples Central Station is 3 km away from Molo Beverello. It will not be tiring, since you would walk on a straight road.
Once you are on Corso Umberto I, you would need to walk all the way down to Piazza Bovio, then take Via De Pretis and reach Piazza Municipio.
