Where to take the ferry from Capri to Salerno?

Ferries and hydrofoils to Salerno depart from the port of Marina Grande, on the northern coast of Capri. This is the island’s only passenger port, where all ferry connections arrive and depart.

In the port area, you’ll find ticket offices, bars, restaurants, shops, luggage storage facilities, taxis and buses.

How to get to the port of Capri

The port of Capri is connected to the rest of the island by funicular, bus and taxi (non-residents are not allowed to bring private cars onto the island).

• From Capri town (Piazzetta): the quickest option is the funicular, which takes around 4-5 min to reach Marina Grande. Services run every 10-15 min from 06:30 to 23:00. Alternatively, you can take a SIPPIC bus.
• From Anacapri: you can take the direct Anacapri - Marina Grande bus, or travel by bus to Capri town and continue by funicular. The journey takes around 25 min, with departures every 30 min.
• From Marina Piccola or other parts of the island: you can use the local bus services connecting the island’s 2 municipalities, with intermediate stops and, if necessary, a change in Capri town or Anacapri.

Capri’s characteristic open-top taxis serve all areas accessible by road. You can find them at the port, near the Piazzetta, in Anacapri and at Marina Piccola. They’re more expensive than public transport, but particularly convenient if you’re traveling with a lot of luggage.

Where does the ferry arrive in Salerno?
