Accomodation

Presenters and discussants stay in the Hotel La Palma in Capri, Italy.

 

Arrival

Workshop participants arriving at Naples airport should travel by Alibus to the destination Piazza Municipio final station. We recommend taking the Alibus because it is cheap (May 2005: 3.00 €), the price is known and the bus is comfortable. Taxi is an alternative but more expensive.
At the final station you see a castle. Behind this castle is the port "Porto di Napoli". At "Molo Beverello" buy a ticket to Capri via hydrofoil. The price for a round trip was 22,00 € in May 2005.

After leaving the hydrofoil go to the right and buy a ticket for the cable car (May 2005: 1.30 €). The cable car starts at the "Funicolare" station which is near by the ticket shop.

Recommendation: Minimize luggage! In general, it is very convenient to go from Naples airport to Capri. However, the way described above implies a bit of walking.
