Bus from Naples airport to downtown
The cheapest way to get to Naples from the airport is to take the Alibus company bus. These buses leave every 15 minutes between 5: 45h and 23: 20h and will leave you at the Central Station of Piazza Garibaldi in 20 minutes for 5 euros. From this station, located 10 minutes walk from the old town, depart the Circumvesuviana commuter trains that connect with Pompeii, Vesuvius or Sorrento (Amalfi Coast).
This bus, for the same price, also arrives at two stops of the port such as Immacolatella and Beverello, in the latter in summer you can take a boat to know the beautiful villages and islands of the Amalfi Coast such as Sorrento or Capri.
You can buy tickets at the airport or directly from the driver.

Private transportation is the most comfortable way to get from Naples airport to downtown or to your hotel. When booking this service here a driver will be waiting for you at the passenger exit of Terminal 1, raising a sign with your name, and will take you directly to the door of your hotel.
It is a transport that can be profitable if you are several people at a cost of 35 euros for 3-seater tourism, 50 euros for 8-seater minibus and 85 for 14-seater.

A cheaper option than the private transfer, if you are few people, is the taxi that has a fixed rate of 18 euros to reach the center and 21 euros to the port.
