Where to take the ferry from Positano to Salerno

Ferries to Salerno depart from the only pier in Positano's small port. The harbor is located near the town center and the famous Marina Grande beach.

Near the port, you can find various services for travelers, including bars, restaurants, boat rentals, and nightclubs. Most shops are located along the streets leading to the upper part of town.

Where does the ferry arrive in Salerno?

Ferries from Positano arrive either at Molo Concordia (also called Molo Masuccio) or Molo Manfredi, both located in the port of Salerno.

Molo Concordia is the closest pier to the city center and Salerno railway station. You can walk there in about 10 min from Piazza Vittorio Veneto and the train station.

Molo Manfredi is a bit further along the waterfront and hosts the shell-shaped maritime station designed by Zaha Hadid, one of Salerno’s architectural landmarks. Around the terminal, you’ll find cafés, bars, pizzerias, shops, and parking facilities.

We recommend checking the exact departure pier ahead of your departure, as it may change.
