Bus to Pompeii
 
Has anyone taken the bus to Pompeii? I understand it leaves from the port, so I would think it would save time over getting from the port to the train station and catching a train.

i am sure most people are wondering 'What Port?"

I also would like to know about the bus to Pompeii. I will be in Amalfi.

The port in Naples where the cruise ships come in. I've been asking this question on cruisecritics, but no one knows, so I thought I would try here.

Hi Carol,

This is the first time I have heard of it.

I know of a train from Campo Flegri station to Pompeii city, but not to Pompeii Scavi.

Would like to know what your research turns up.

Carol - I believe the Marozzi service from Rome drops off/picks up at Beverello en route to Pompeii/Sorrento - but it only runs once/twice per day.

Even if there is a direct local bus service it won't be as frequent as the Circumvesuviana train (- deps. every 30 mins from Piazza Garibaldi) - so that would be the best way to go.
[You can reach Piazza Garibaldi station by tram (No 1) in less than 10 mins.]

An alternative if you're travelling Fri, Sat or Sun is the hydrofoil to Torre Annunziata, from where there's a connecting bus service (Archeobus) to Pompeii.

Hope this helps ...

Steve
