Embarking for Capri from Naples or Sorrento
You can get to Capri:
- from Naples by ferry (the crossing takes about 80 minutes, price approximately 4,5 Euro)
or by hydrofoil (54 minutes, price approximately 16 Euro);
- from Sorrento by ferry (the trip takes about 40 minutes, price approx. 6 Euro)
or by hydrofoil (20 minutes, price 12 Euro).
Transport craft leave Naples from the ports of Beverello and Mergellina.
That of Beverello is by far the most convenient, as departures are more frequent and you have a larger selection of ferries and hydrofoils.

Taking a taxi in Naples
So as to avoid unpleasant surprises it is advisable to take licensed taxis only. The price of the ride is indicated on the taximeter, which must be used by the driver. Fixed rates are available for the journey from the Railway station or Airport to the port. These rates include every type of supplement (holidays, luggage etc.). They should be requested prior to commencing the journey and foresee a fixed route, thereby excluding passengers the right to ask for route variations.

Getting from the airport to the port of Naples
The airport is approximately 7 km from both ports. The best way to reach the points of departure is by taxi. The trip takes about 25-30 minutes and should cost around 25 Euro both for Beverello and Mergellina harbours (see paragraph concerning fixed taxi fares in Naples).
A less expensive yet comfortable alternative are the CLP (private coaches) that leave every 30 minutes from terminal 1 (arrivals side) for Piazza Municipio. The ticket, which can be purchased on-board, is around 3 Euro; the trip takes about 40 minutes. Bear in mind that the coach goes to Piazza Municipio, which is a 3-minute walk from molo Beverello (rather awkward if you have a lot of baggage. Some coach drivers have the courtesy to make a stop only fifty metres or so from the molo).

From the station to the port of Naples
There are three train stations in Naples:
Napoli Centrale (where the great majority of long-distance trains arrive), Mergellina and Campi Flegrei.
Napoli Centrale is about 2 km from the molo Beverello; the best way to get there is by taxi. The trip will take 10 minutes and cost about 10 Euro (see paragraph concerning fixed taxi fares in Naples).
Mergellina station is only 300 m from the port of the same name.
The Campi Flegrei station is in Fuorigrotta, in the northern outskirts of Naples; in this case, the best way to get to the ports is by taxi.

Getting to the port of Naples by car
If you arrive from the north, leave the motorway at the Napoli turnoff; take the ring road exiting at Naples, then after 15 km take the turnoff for Fuorigrotta. Bear in mind that non-residents can embark their cars for Capri in the off-season only (normally between November and late March), and only on the ferries. Cars are of little use on Capri, so the best idea would in fact be to leave it in Naples or Sorrento.
In Naples, leave your car preferably in an authorised and guarded car park. There is a small parking area next to the molo Beverello, costing upwards of 11 Euro a day. If this car park is full, try the Parcheggio di Interscambio Autosilo Brin in Via Brin (tel. 081/7632827); prices are upwards of 8,50 Euro per day. If you leave from the Mergellina port, try the car park of the same name in Via G. Bruno 112 (tel. 081/7613470; upwards of 11 Euro per day) or the parcheggio San Nazaro in Piazza San Nazaro 142 (tel. 081/681437; prices starting from 11 Euro per day).

From the port of Capri to La Minerva Hotel
Once you have arrived at the Marina Grande port, go to the Piazzetta. The most convenient way is by the funicular (3 minutes, price 1,30 Euro per person) or by taxi (slower but more comfortable; approx. 10 minutes, for a cost of 15 Euro circa).
To get to the hotel from the Piazzetta, walk down the main shopping streets Via Vittorio Emanuele, then Via Camerelle. To do so go in the direction of Hotel Quisisana and turn left in front of it (Via Camerelle). Half way along Via Camerelle in front of Hotel Syrene turn off to the right (Via Ignazio Cerio) at the sign indicating La Minerva and follow indications. Otherwise at the end of Via Camerelle (after the restaurant "I Faraglioni"), instead of turning left into the road leading to Via Tragara, follow our sign directing you down the sloping street; the hotel is only 50 m away. This is a nicer option but you will find some steps going down.
Baggage porters service - Remember that as of the Piazzetta, all car traffic in the centre and panoramic areas of Capri is strictly prohibited. For this reason, it is best to entrust any heavy or cumbersome baggage (10 Euro for each item) to the porters at the ferry and hydrofoil arrival areas for transport to the hotel.
There are also porters who can take your baggage to the hotel from the Piazzetta in Capri center for 4 Euro per item. You will find them at the taxi stop (1 minute on foot from the exit of cable car in the opposite direction to the hotel).
Payment can be made at the hotel. We wish you a pleasant journey. Please do not hesitate to contact the hotel if you need any further information.
