Salerno
Salerno lies at the head of the gulf of the same name, about fifty kilometres south of Naples, between the sea and the mountains of the Amalfi Coast. The old town keeps an eleventh-century cathedral, and the city is an ideal starting point for the Amalfi Coast, Pompeii and Paestum. Report to the terminal at the time shown on your ticket: formalities come before boarding.
Palermo
In Palermo, the port is very close to the historic centre: the Cala, the old harbour basin, is a few minutes’ walk from the cathedral and the Capo market. Buses and taxis serve the station and the airport, and the motorway towards Messina and Catania starts on the edge of town. For an early-morning arrival, the markets open early.
