Why fly to Naples?
Few airports in Southern Europe offer this kind of range from a single city. Greece alone accounts for 14 direct routes — useful when you're weighing up a post-Amalfi island hop to Santorini or Mykonos without routing through Rome. Spain has 13 routes, Germany 13 more, and France adds another 12. Carriers like British Airways, Air France, Finnair, and Aegean all serve the airport, which means competitive pricing and genuine choice. Then there's the headline route: a direct connection to Atlanta at 8,285 kilometres, which makes transatlantic access far more straightforward than most travellers expect from a city of this size.

Tips for travelers at NAP
The airport sits about 7 kilometres north of the city centre, and the Alibus shuttle — running directly to Piazza Garibaldi and the main train station — is your most reliable option for around 5 euros. Taxis are plentiful but agree on the fixed tariff before you get in. Summer is peak season, particularly July and August when Greek island routes fill fast; book those early. Winter departures tend to be quieter and cheaper, though some seasonal routes scale back significantly between November and March. Always double-check terminal information before you arrive, as the layout can surprise first-timers.
