The port

The Port of Pozzuoli serves as a key maritime hub for both passenger and cargo traffic. Protected to the south by Molo Caligolano, which is connected to the town via a small bridge, the port features a basin that accommodates numerous small craft, while larger vessels can dock along the Molo itself. It primarily handles passenger ferries connecting Pozzuoli to the islands of Ischia and Procida, facilitating significant commuter and tourist movement. In addition to passenger services, the port also supports cargo operations, with a focus on handling other general goods. Its strategic location and well-structured facilities make it an essential link in the region's maritime transport network.
