From Naples or Amalfi to Ischia, you will take the ferry. Upon arriving in Naples, take a taxi to Port Molo Beverello, where you take a ferry to Porto di Forio. The taxi should be a fixed rate of 24 euro, please ask the taxi before you get in. The Forio Port is much closer to the hotel, so we recommend taking the ferry here.The hotel also provides transportation from the Forio Port on a first come first served basis. Please contact the hotel to see if they can accommodate a shuttle.You will need to find your own transportation from the Porto D'Ischia, which is on the other side of the island and can be expensive.

If you are flying out of Naples, please look at the ferry schedule BEFORE you book your flight. Depending on the day you leave, the ferry from Forio to Naples have different departure times. They may not be as early as you think. Some are 6:15AM while other days they do not leave until 9:15AM. You want to make sure you are giving yourself enough time to get from the port to the airport for your flight. If you don't check this, you may have to stay in Naples the night before your flight.

Travel

Hotel Shuttle

We recommend using the hotels free shuttle service. The shuttle runs from 9:00AM - 7:00PM. You should schedule them the morning of or day before to ensure you get the time you want. The hotel shuttle provides 4 stops throughout Forio (Spiaggia della Chiaia, Forio Port, Spiaggia di Citara, and Forio Center). This will give you access to a lot of things on this website. You can use the shuttle stops as starting points and walk to a destination, but please note that the island is very hilly.

Taxis

Taxis are always available on the island and the hotel can always help you coordinate one. We found that taxis are about 30 to 45 euro each way. They fit 6-8 people in each so you could coordinate with friends to get a taxi to and from anything you would like to do. If you would like to enjoy dinner out, you could always take a shuttle into town and get a taxi home.

Buses

There are also options to take the bus to different parts of the island which is the most cost effective way. You can buy tickets in bars, tobacconists, newsagents, travel agencies, and some hotels. You can also buy tickets on the buses from the driver but you do pay a little bit extra to do so. Single ticket can be 1.70 euro to 2.20 euro depending on where it is bought, all day ticket 5.10 euro, three day ticket 11 euro, and one week ticket 14.50 euro. There is a bus stop outside of the hotel.*We did not use the buses, so you can ask the hotel more information on this if needed*

Car or Vespa Rental

There are options to rent cars or vespas on the island. There is parking at the hotel if you choose this option. We did not know the Italian street signs, so did not opt for this. They can drive pretty crazy.
