Where to take the ferry from Amalfi to Salerno?

Amalfi's port, commonly known as La Marina, is situated within walking distance of the historical center and offers easy access to the town's main attractions and beaches.

How to get to the port of Amalfi

• By car: take the A3 motorway and exit at Vietri sul Mare (from Naples/Salerno) or Angri (towards Sorrento/Positano), then follow the scenic SS163 Amalfitana coastal road. There are parking facilities near the ferry terminal, but spaces are limited and parking can be expensive. For this reason, it's often more convenient to leave your car behind and use public transport.
• By public bus: SITA Sud buses connect Amalfi with many cities like Sorrento, Positano and Naples. The main bus stop is in Piazza Flavio Gioia, just a short walk from the port.
• By train: there is no train station in Amalfi. You can travel to another city like Vietri sul Mare and continue to Amalfi by SITA bus.
• By plane: the nearest airport is Naples Capodichino Airport, about 75 km away. From there, you can reach Amalfi by seasonal direct bus (April-October), private transfer or taxi.

Where does the ferry arrive in Salerno?

Ferries from Amalfi usually arrive at Molo Manfredi and Molo Masuccio (in Piazza della Concordia square). The two piers are a 20-min walk from each other.

We recommend checking with the company about the exact arrival pier, as it may vary from one crossing to another.

Useful info: Molo Manfredi also hosts the famous shell-shaped maritime station designed by the architect Zaha Hadid and various amenities including bars, pizzerias, megastores, and boutiques of all kinds.
