Travel within Italy By Sea

Italy has a total of almost 5,275 miles of coastline, including the peninsula itself and all the numerous islands around the country. There are many services linking the islands by sea to the mainland: the main links are by car ferries and hydrofoils. In addition, ships from all the countries around the Mediterranean are moored in the well-equipped Italian ports. The main Italian ports of embarkation for the large islands of Sicily and Sardinia are: Genoa, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples and Villa San Giovanni.
