Get the ticket with destination "Ischia Porto"
From the port of Ischia to reach the hotel you can take a taxi, line 177 (the route that returns via Via Pontano) or come on foot if you only have a backpack, 1.5 km, approximately 25 minutes.
In more detail:
If you're taking the train, your destination will be Napoli Centrale ; some trains also stop at Napoli Piazza Garibaldi station, which is the same station but located a few floors below Napoli Centrale, to which it is connected by a series of escalators.
From the train station you can reach the port by taxi, subway, or bus.
- By taxi: This is obviously the most comfortable and safe option. The taxi rank is located at the main entrance. The ride from the station to the port (Molo Beverello or Calata Porta di Massa) can be charged at a fixed rate or by taximeter. This rate should not exceed €16 for two or three people with luggage ( source / updated January 30, 2026).
- By shared taxi/taxi sharing: this service starts at Naples Capodichino Airport, stops at Naples Central Station, and then continues to Molo Beverello. Exit the station on the right side (with the platforms behind you). The taxi rank is located right near the entrance to Corso Novara, at number 3. The cost is €6 per person, all-inclusive ( source ).
- By subway: From the station, go downstairs toward the Piazza Garibaldi subway station. Take Line 1 toward Piscinola.
Get off after two stops at Università (for ferries / Calata Porta di Massa) or after three stops at Municipio (for hydrofoils / Molo Beverello).
University / Calata Porta di Massa: Exit at Piazza Bovio, take Via Marchese Campodisola, and continue straight toward Via Marina to reach the ferry access gates. About a 10-minute walk.
Town Hall / Molo Beverello: From the metro, exit toward the port and follow the underpass; you'll find the hydrofoil ticket office on your right. It's about a 5-minute walk.
You can use your credit card directly at the turnstiles (Tap&Go) or purchase a paper ticket at the ticket offices at the metro entrance or from authorized retailers.
- With the Alibus shuttle: ANM's Alibus operates a circular route connecting Capodichino Airport, the Central Station (Piazza Garibaldi), and the Port.
BEFORE BOARDING it is essential to pay attention to the direction shown on the display which must show "Porto" or "Molo Beverello".
To reach the stop for the Port of Naples, exit through the main windows of the Central Station, keeping to the right. Cross the street onto Corso Novara. The stop should be right on the corner of Corso Novara and Corso Garibaldi.
Ferry or hydrofoil?
Once you reach the port of Naples, get off at Calata Porta di Massa if you wish to take the ferry. Get off at Molo Beverello if you wish to take the hydrofoil. The journey to the island takes about 50 minutes by hydrofoil and 90 minutes by ferry.

Once I arrive on the island of Ischia, how do I get to the hotel?
In summary:
From the port of Ischia, you can reach the hotel by taxi, line 177 (make sure the bus display says "Via Pontano") , or on foot if you're only carrying a backpack: 1.5 km, about 25 minutes.
In more detail:
- By taxi: especially recommended if you have heavy luggage or are a person with reduced mobility.
At the port of Ischia, you'll immediately see the taxi rank. The ride to the hotel should cost €15, including luggage ( source ), but agreeing on a fare before boarding will avoid unpleasant surprises from particularly exuberant taxi drivers.
- By bus: You can take line 177 if the display in front of the bus indicates that it passes through Via Pontano.
Bus 177 reaches the Aragonese Castle when the ISCHIA PONTE ZTL is not active: (it is active every day from 11:00 to 13:00 and from 17:00 to 24:00 (updated 30 April 2026 - source ).
On the way back from Piazzale Aragonese, the bus runs along Via Pontano along the seafront; you'll see our hotel in the distance. Get off at the first stop immediately after the beaches and walk 100 meters to Via Champault. The hotel entrance is located there.
- On foot along Via Roma and Corso Vittoria Colonna: from the port of Ischia, continue along Via Iasolino, where you'll find the oak tree and the Portosalvo church. Continue along Via Roma and then Corso Vittoria Colonna: these streets form the elegant heart of our town. In some areas, the road is paved, while in others, it's cobblestone. It's fine if you're carrying light luggage or just a backpack.
The journey takes 20-25 minutes, according to Google Maps... but we know you'll get distracted by looking at the shop windows, bars, and little churches... take it easy, you'll always find someone to welcome you 24/7.
