Getting to the ferry ports in Naples (All Ports)
In Naples, ferries to Panarea usually depart from three main areas: Calata Porta di Massa, Molo Beverello, and Mergellina. All are close to the city center and the seafront.

Molo Beverello is a short walk from Piazza Municipio and near many central hotels and sights. Mergellina Terminal lies along the waterfront west of the center, close to the Mergellina neighborhood and its train and metro station.
You can reach these Terminals by taxi or ride-hailing from anywhere in the city, or by car following signs to “Porto” and the specific pier. Public buses and metro lines connect the central railway station (Napoli Centrale/Garibaldi) and main squares with the port area; from there it’s usually a short walk to the correct pier, depending on your operator and ticket.
