Ferry to Palermo

If we arrive from Naples by ferry, where is the closest location to reserve a car rental?

We will be heading right out and staying in Palermo on our return.

Thanks!

Hello,

I am aware that ferry & boat is the only means of reaching capri and back, would you know what the best route is and what time is the latest ferry going back to the mainland? We will most likely be staying in Positano or Sorrento. We would love to have dinner in Capri but unsure if this is possible with the Ferry schedule? If there are late ferrys returning around 10pm, this would be perfect.

Appreciate any help I can get on this matter.

Thank you!

We are 2 families - one : 2 adults and 2 children (18,21) and other family: 2 adults with a six year old child who shall be going overland from Sicily to Amalfi Coast in early July 2021. We were considering driving to Messina from Raguza area, take the ferry and drive to Maratea and stop overnight. The next day we shall drive to Sorrento and stay there for a few days. This was our draft itinerary so far.:

DAY 1 :

Drive to Messina - Ferry to Villa San Giovanni, Drive to Maratea and stay Maratea

DAY 2 :

Drive and stop to visit Salerno, then Vietri sul mare, Cetara and finally Sorrento and

stay at Sorrento (accommodation for next few days)

DAY 3 :

Drive and stop to visit Positano and then Praiano and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 4 :

Drive and stop to visit Ravello and Amalfi and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 5 :

Visit Sorrento Centre and Drive to Napoli or Salerno to catch Ferry to Palermo or Messina in the evening- overnight stay on the ferry

DAY 6 :

Arrive Palermo or Messina - depending on the ferry trip and availability. Spend a day in Sicily and end of trip.

Any suggestions please re entire itinerary. Not sure whether we should stop in Maratea or somewhere close - not to have a long way driving and whether to base ourselves at Sorrento. We are also undecided whether to catch the Ferry To Palermo or to Messina?

Please advise

there are many ferries between towns around Lago di Garda. Only two ferries btw east and west can take cars, but you can see the opposite bank view without taking the ferry anyway. The idea ferry is btw north and south towns.

Some ferries allow bikes, but not all roads are safe for bikers, especially my partner has terrible eyesight, so he can only bike on places without much traffic, or on specific bike road.

the longest ferry btw south and north takes more than 4.5 hours, and can't take our car. So round trip would take 9 hours, which is not doable. So we can only choose a shorter ferry to see the view on the two sides of the lake. Which ferry has the best view and worth a round trip ferry?

Hi! I'm planning on doing a long holiday in Italy from the end of September until November. I will be doing most of my transport via public transport, but biking/hiking or renting a car every now and then might be an option too.

What I'm currently thinking about:

- Enter sicily by train, hop off on the east coast. Visit Taormina, Catania, Siracusa, and possibly Ragusa as main sites. 5 days?

- Take the ferry from either Pozzallo or Augusta to Malta

- Spend about a week on Malta

- Take the ferry back, see (possibly Ragusa here) Valle dei Templi, and the north and west of sicily. About 10 days?

- Take the ferry from Palermo to Cagliari

- Spend about two weeks on Sardinia (not sure what places yet)

- take the ferry from Porto Torres to Barcelona

Is this a feasibily itinerary? The suggested staying times for these places seem to be all over the place (e.g. 5 days enough for Sicily, two weeks in Malta) so I'm wondering if I'm taking it easy enough or if I could include Amalfi for example. Is two weeks in Sicily enough if I go by public transport? I want to see the main sites and take some relaxed days off too. I don't need to spend days in every town exploring every alley.

I plan on staying in hostels and cheap hotel rooms mostly. I can also bring camping gear but I'm not entirely sure if it's worth it as I think a lot of campings will already be closed in October. I don't particularly have a set budget but I prefer to spend my cash on good food and perhaps some guides. I don't have a need for luxury hotels or driving a car everywhere.

I am planning a trip for next May. Flying into Naples and staying 3 days, ferry to Capri for 2-3 days, Positano and/or Amalfi for 2-3 days then to Sorrento for 2 days. Is this a good itinerary or should I do the opposite of going to Sorrento first and Capri last. Will not be renting a car but doing ferriesor private drivers. I appreciate any thoughts or tips! Thanks so much

we are traveling to Naples in October 21 and would like to know if we could still catch a ferry on the 5th October to Sorrento and return on the 9th October?? or has ferry service finished by then

would be grateful if someone could let us know

First, i should mention that i'm somewhat ADHD when on vacation so i don't like to stay in one place too long but would rather look, absorb, take some pics and keep moving along. With that said i'm very active and walking is certainly ok with me. I would be taking trains mostly . I have the following thus far:

1) Arrive Venice

2)Venice

3)Venice

4)Venice to Bologna

5)Bologna to Florence

6)Florence

7)Florence to Rome ( I've already been to Rome previously but will pick up my fiancé here)

8)Rome to Naples then Ferry to Ischia

9)Ischia

10)Ferry to Capri

11)Capri

12)Ferry to Positano

13)Positano

14)Positano

15)Positano

16)Sorrento

17)Sorrento to Naples Depart home

Thanks for any suggestions and advice. Was wanting to hike around Cinque Terre for the day at some point but was unsure if it was worth the effort since the train takes a long time to get there. Thanks

I am looking for ideas how to spend time- ideally in pozzallo or closeby- till I catch my ferry back to Malta at 9.30pm. By 10.30am I will need to check out from my B&B in Calatabiano (so I calculated a two-hour drive to pozzallo and then two hours waiting time to board ferry). That leaves us with 6 hours...

Planning on a day trip to Lipari and Volcano islands. Staying in Taormina. Have a car and thinking of getting a ferry in Messina. Suggestions? Should I reserve tickets in advance? Issues with parking? Is there a better way to get there ? Milazzo? Thank you
