Porto di Forio
Visiting by boat
Porto di Forio sits on the western coast of Ischia, about 45 minutes by ferry from Naples, with Alilauro running up to 5 daily crossings in high season. You'll find yourself in one of Ischia's most atmospheric port towns, with the volcanic island's thermal spas, beaches, and hilltop Aragonese Castle all within easy reach. It's a proper working harbour with real character, not just a transit stop.
From the marina's website, checked Oct 12. Confirm with the marina before arrival.
