  • We will be arriving from Roma by train to Napoli Centralia, where do we ask taxi driver to take us to get to Ischia?

    Thursday, 06 April 2017  Daniel

    Good morning,

    when you arrive at the train station, you will find a taxi dispatch close to the station to reach the port of Naples to Ischia (Beverello for hydrofoils or Porta di Massa for ferries). Once you arrive to Ischia you can reach your accommodation by bus station close to the port.

    Kind regards
