Your driver waits at the entrance to the centre, near the harbour: the cathedral square is pedestrian and closed to cars. From the hotels along the coast road, pickup is right in front of the property.
The drive from Amalfi to Port of Naples covers about 63 km and takes about 1 hour 25 minutes. The final stretch runs along the coast road carved into the cliff, a sequence of bends and tunnels with the sea straight below — spectacular to look at, demanding to drive. Your driver knows every curve and every passing point, so you can watch the view instead of the road.
Travelling to Port of Naples, the time you leave matters more than the time you arrive: we suggest departing about 2 hours 40 minutes before your boarding, which covers the drive plus the wait at the terminal. Tell us the boarding time when you book and we work backwards from it — including the morning traffic on this stretch, which is not the same as the afternoon one.
We drop you in front of the right boarding terminal, avoiding the long loop around the port area. For hydrofoils we suggest arriving 30 minutes before departure; for car ferries and cruises, at least an hour.
Naples’ port is where hydrofoils leave for Capri, Ischia and Procida and where cruise ships dock at the Stazione Marittima. It is a large, busy area with quays far apart: knowing which berth to head for saves you crossing it on foot with your suitcases.
