In importance, the port of Casamicciola Terme comes immediately after that of Ischia. During the winter months there are about ten daily trips to Naples and Pozzuoli, but their number increases considerably during the summer.
Furthermore, in the months of June, July and August from the port of Casamicciola it is also possible to reach Ventotene and Ponza which, however, are not directly connected in winter (it is necessary to pass through Formia, Terracina and Anzio). Another fundamental aspect, the port of Casamicciola (together with Ischia), guarantees territorial continuity with nearby Procida throughout the year.
Both ferries and hydrofoils depart from the port of Casamicciola. The former take an average of 70 to 90 minutes to reach Naples; from 60 to 70 minutes, instead, to reach Pozzuoli. The hydrofoils take from 50 to 60 minutes to reach Naples, while there are no hydrofoils connections to Pozzuoli. For both ferries and hydrofoils, any intermediate stop in Procida affects travel times.
At the entrance to the port there are the ticket offices, the taxi station and the bus stop for Forio. For bars, newsstands, restaurants, car and scooter rental and bus stop towards Ischia, just cross the street.
The port of Casamicciola can be reached by bus, taxi and by car and scooter (useful info for those who are already on the island).
Bus: from the station in Piazza Trieste and Trento in Ischia Porto several buses leave for Casamicciola Terme. The most frequent lines are: Left Circular (CS), Line 1 and Line 2. The Right Circular (CD) also reaches the port of Casamicciola, first passing through Barano, Serrara Fontana, Forio and Lacco Ameno. The municipality of Casamicciola also has some internal lines that connect the coastal area (Marina) and the upper part of the country (including the upper part of the municipality of Lacco Ameno).
Tickets can be purchased at newsagents, bars and tobacconists. Tickets can almost always be purchased on board. Ask the driver before getting on.
Taxi: the distribution of taxis on the island of Ischia is widespread: from the parking areas near the ports to those in front of the hotels, tourists can rely on a valid public service.
Each municipality on the island of Ischia has its own taxi tariff, so transit from one municipality to another is intended as an extra-urban route.
Car: the port of Casamicciola can also be reached by car and scooter. For parking, you must take into account the ZTL times and the fees for parking for a fee (blue stripes) if free parking areas are not available (white stripes).
The ferry and hydrofoil ticket offices are located at the beginning of the port of Casamicciola.
On Corso Luigi Manzi, in front of the port of Casamicciola, there are countless activities: bars, newsagents, pubs, restaurants, wine bars, pizzerias, shoe and clothing stores, etc.
Those arriving by ferry or hydrofoil at the port of Casamicciola can immediately begin their visit. Leaving the port, in fact, it's sufficient to cross to reach Corso Luigi Manzi, the main street of the town. The strong increase in pleasure boating has favored the development of the route which has significantly improved for the aesthetic aspect.
Along the way, there are pubs, restaurants, wine bars, pizzerias, clothing and souvenir shops, almost all on the ground floor of splendid Art Nouveau buildings from the early 1900s.
Attention to the churches: the small Church of Santa Maria Madre del Buon Consiglio and, further on, the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà. Finally, on the Salvatore Girardi seafront, we recommend the Church of San Gabriele, part of the majestic convent of the Passionist Fathers.
