How to get to Ischia: advice and directions

How to get to Ischia?

Ischia can be reached from the port of Naples or from the port of Pozzuoli by ferry, which carries both passengers and vehicles, or by hydrofoil, which hosts passengers only. From Naples it is possible to travel by ferry starting from Porta Calata di Massa and the crossing takes approximately 90 minutes; if instead you choose the hydrofoil, you leave from Molo Beverello and it takes about 50 minutes to reach the island. Pozzuoli is closer, in fact the ferry takes about 60 minutes to Ischia, while the hydrofoil is not available from this port.
