:: How to Get to Ischia
Ischia is an island and is normally accessed via Naples by boat,
so you will need to travel to Naples first, then take a boat to Ischia.
HOW TO GET TO NAPLES
Via Airplane
The closest domestic and international airport to Ischia
is Capodichino Airport just outside of Naples. If you are flying
to Italy from the U.S., it is likely that you will stopover at
Malpensa Airport in Milan or Fiumicino Airport in Rome, and then
make a connecting flight to Naples. There are direct flights into
Naples from Paris, London, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Munich and Brussels,
in addition to national flights from Rome and Milan.
Via Train
You can reach Naples by train. There are three main train stations
in Naples: Central Station (or Napoli Piazza Garibaldi, which
is located exactly under the Central Station), Mergellina Station,
and Campi Flegrei Station. The train service from Rome is frequent,
and the trip takes about two hours.
WITHIN NAPLES
There is a direct bus connection called Alibus which connects Naples
Airport, Central Rail Station, and Molo Beverello harbour, no other stops. Service starts
at 6.30 and stops at 23.30, trips each 30 minutes. Special fare 3 Euro.
Regular bus from Airport to Central Rail Station / Piazza Garibaldi, line 3S: 1 Euro. Tickets are valid for 90 minutes and cover all commuter traffic (bus, metro, local trains, trams) in the region.
To go from the Central Rail Station to Mergelina, take Metro line 2 towards Pozzouli.
To go from the Central Rail Station to Pozzouli harbour, take first Metro line 2 to Montesanto (towards Pozzouli). Then in Montesanto, change to local train line "Cumana" direction Pozzouli. The "Cumana" Pozzouli station is near the harbour. The Metro line 2 stop in Pozzouli is far from the harbour.
Taxi service is 24 hours a day.

The transfer time between the mainland and Ischia will depend on distance
between harbours, weather conditions and intermediate stops. Generally the
hydrofoil will take less than the ferry. On the maximum distance with
intermediate stops the slowest boat will take 1:45 hours. The fast hydrofoil will take around 40 minutes. Prices vary between arond 6 and 18 Euro.
There are two other arrival harbours on Ischia: Casamicciola and
Forio d'Ischia. They are well connected by bus with Ischia Porto.
ON ISCHIA ISLAND
Jolly Hotel is in Ischia town, 400 meters SE of the harbour Ischia
Porto.
