Passenger port of Naples

The journey to Capri begins at the passenger port of Naples.

From the piers of Molo Beverello, high-speed boats go to the Islands of Capri, Procida, Ischia, and Sorrento.

Just one such vessel completed the next trip and came to the pier.

I was struck by the incredible maneuverability of the motor ship I turned around almost on the spot. In General, the mooring operation has passed very quickly and clearly - you can only admire the skill Neapolitan sailors - I've never seen anything like them anywhere.

Fire and rescue boat. The Vigili del label Fuoco on Board can be translated as "guardians of the fire", so called Italian national fire service.

Cruise ships dock at this pier. Building the marine station (Stazione Marittima) was built in the time of Mussolini, in In 1936.

At the far end of the pier, ferries of the Siremar line connecting mainland Italy with Sicily are moored.

At the berths, you can see both rare and modern vessels.

On the pier of San Vincenzo, behind the naval base, there is a Parking lot for SNAV, the main sea carrier in the South of Italy.
