Taranto's cruise port sits on the Ionian Sea in Italy's Puglia region. Cruise ships dock along the historical Molo Sant’Eligio right next to the old town, providing easy access on foot. Luxury lines like Silversea, Oceania, Azamara, and Viking offer Mediterranean itineraries with stops in Taranto.
The port's proximity to the city center means everything can be reached by walking or quick taxi ride, with no need for lengthy transfers. Taranto's compact old town and medieval quarters are ideal for exploration during a brief port call.
Taranto cruise port is located on the edge of the old town, around 1 km from the city center. The sights of the medieval old town and Borgo areas are a quick 10-15 minute walk east along the harbor. Walking is the most convenient and scenic way to get around.
