This news item about the Wizz Air route from Israel to Naples was first published in 2021. Fares, schedules and Covid rules reflect that time.
Wizz Air has announced a new route from Israel to Naples, the historic port city in southern Italy. It is the airline’s fifth Israel to Italy route and will begin operating in September, joining its services to Milan, Rome, Catania and Bari. The airline has also already announced direct routes to Greece.
The Wizz Air route from Israel to Naples in detail
Tickets can already be bought on the Wizz Air website and in the Wizz app, from 139 shekels.
The new service joins three routes launching in July, to Rome, Catania and Bari, and the existing Milan route. With five routes from Israel, the airline is offering Israeli travellers a full Italian experience.
Flights begin on September 15, with two a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. The launch comes right as the airline opens its base in the city, Wizz Air’s 44th overall and sixth in Italy, which will offer 18 domestic and international routes to nine countries, Israel among them.
What the city offers
Naples is considered one of Italy’s most beautiful cities. The route gives Israeli travellers easy access to the distinctive sights and landscapes of the south, such as Mount Vesuvius and the picturesque island of Capri, alongside the region’s food, wine and coffee. For ideas, see our three-day Naples itinerary and the Capri travel guide.
Paulina Gosk, communications manager at the airline: “We are excited to add another route today to our extensive network from Israel, to the picturesque city in southern Italy, Naples. The port city, which offers scenery together with historic sites, art and architecture, will be another option for Israelis who have waited a long time for their holiday.”
Entry rules at the time of publication
As things stood, vaccinated Israelis had to declare to the Ministry of Health their intention to enter Italy, in addition to presenting a vaccination or recovery certificate and a negative Covid test taken up to 48 hours before entry. Vaccinated travellers were not required to quarantine. Anyone without a certificate faced ten days of isolation. All passengers had to take two Covid tests to return to Israel, one 72 hours before departure and one immediately after landing. The airline recommends always checking official government websites for the current rules in each country.
