Ferries to PanareaPort connections and services
Panarea is the smallest of the Aeolian Islands, but perhaps the most popular. The only port is located on the east coast of the island, near the village of Ditella.
⚓ Every year, the port of Panarea sees thousands of passengers disembark from all over Italy and the rest of Europe. The port area is very close to the city centre and offers numerous services such as restaurants, cafés, shops, groceries and pharmacies. Boat and dinghy rentals can be found in the vicinity of the embarkations.
🚢 Panarea is connected to the mainland all year round with departures to Naples. Departures to Sicily, on the other hand, connect the island with the port of Milazzo. In the summer months, lines to and from Naples Mergellina, Vibo Valentia and Palermo are added. There are four ferry companies that operate connections with Panarea:
• Snav
• Siremar
• Liberty Lines
• Alilauro
You can reach Panarea by ferry or hydrofoil. If you travel by hydrofoil, you may bring one 10 kg hand luggage, which is already included in the ticket price. Any extra luggage can be added for a small surcharge. Ferries are more comfortable and spacious, but departures are less frequent and the vehicles slower, so the crossing will take longer.
Motor vehicles are not allowed to circulate on the island of Panarea and a ban on disembarking applies to motor vehicles and mopeds during the summer months. However, there are several public and private transport services that will allow you to explore the entire island.
Bicycles can only be boarded on ferries, as hydrofoils do not have a hold. Only folding bikes are allowed on hydrofoils, they must be included in the booking.🚲

Framed by cliffs and lush vegetation, the beach stretches along a bay of crystal-clear sea and red sand. Continuing along the same path, visitors can reach the prehistoric village of Punta Milazzese and the beach of Cala Junco, similar to a natural swimming pool with transparent waters and enclosed by high rock walls.
