This can be arranged via our concierge service and is a quick and fun way of arriving into Sorrento, especially if you are staying a hotel with sea access. Your driver will pick you up from Naples Airport and accompany you to the port to which you will meet your private boat and captain. 

 

Pros:  Avoids traffic, You get to see the coastline 

​

Cons: This is the most expensive option but if there are a few of your arriving together you may wish to consider this option. 

​

By Train

​

You can buy Alibus tickets also at the airport, at the vending machines, located on the ground floor of the arrivals area. You can also buy the tickets on the bus, but they work out a little more expensive.

 

The UnicoAlibus tickets purchased on board the Alibus are €4,00. Tickets purchased at an authorized agent prior to boarding the Alibus are €3,00.

 

Travel time is around 30 minutes to the train station, depending on traffic.

 

Pros: Cheapest way to travel, you may like the hustle and bustle of experiencing public transport.

 

Cons: Expect queues at the bus stop and not much space on the bus as they can get very busy within the peak season (May–Oct). Also, space for luggage is limited

 

Train Naples Garibaldi Station

(Stazione Centrale)

​

The train to Sorrento can be taken from the Garibaldi Station. To get here from the airport you can take the Alibus. Please see above. There are two trains you can choose from, the public Circumvesuviana or the Campania Express.

​

The Circumvesuviana is a public train and It runs every 30 minutes. The journey time can be anywhere between 1.15 - 1.5 hours depending on which train you get and the number of stops. The cost is 4.20 Euro for a one-way ticket and be sure to get this before boarding the train.

 

Pros: Cheapest way

 

Cons: Very busy, no luggage space, no toilets, and generally no AC! Unfortunately, pickpocketers are rife on this train so do be careful with your belongings as there has been pickpocket activity on these trains.

 

The Campania Express is a private service that was introduced to connect Naples to Sorrento and the historical sites i.e., Pompeii and Ercolano (Herculaneum). This train is not as frequent, but the journey time is much quicker (approx. 45 mins).

 

Pros: This train is less crowded, you are more likely to get a seat and there are spaces for luggage

 

Cons: Cost 15 Euro for a one-way ticket, plus then adding the cost of getting to the train station from the airport and then of course to your accommodation when you arrive in Sorrento

 

By Bus

​

The Curreri Viaggi Bus runs directly from Naples Airport's main Bus Station (this can be found a little further up from the Alibus stop, about a 5-minute walk from the airport terminal) to Sorrento train station.

 

The cost is 10 Euro and tickets can be bought online at

 

www.curreriviaggi.it

 

Pros:  Cheap and easy to use

 

Cons: The buses can fill up very quickly so I would advise buying tickets before and not on the bus.

 

Times are not very frequent, running about every two hours. The bus arrives 10 minutes before its departure and will not wait. So, make sure you have plenty of time from your flight arrival to get to the bus station and on the bus before it departs.

​

​

By Ferry

​

The ferries run from Beverello Port. There are many different ferry operators running to and from Sorrento so times may vary. You can find a list of options at:

 

https://www.ferryhopper.com/en/ferry-routes/direct/ferry-naples-sorrento-traghetti

 

Pros: Arrive by Sea, the journey time is only 45 minutes (but you must consider the journey to the port and at the other end.

 

Cons: The ferry brings you into Marina Piccola Sorrento. The walk from here to the main square Piazza Tasso is all up a very steep hill or flights of stairs which can be quite difficult in the heat. There is a lift (1.20 Euro) but you must walk approx. 5 minutes to get to it past the bathing platforms on a narrow pathway. The lift will take you to Villa Comunale (Cloisters of San Francesco) so you then must consider the walk to your accommodation from there.

​

To do this, you will first have to use the public bus service from Naples Airport. The Alibus station is directly in front of the Airport terminal, a short walk up the main road and they run approximately 20 minutes to the Stazione Centrale (the main train station). Alternatively, you can continue, on the bus to Beverello/Stazione Marittima (the main ferry port).
