Where is the ferry port?
'Porto' — POR-to. Two clear syllables; the 'or' is like 'or' in 'order'.
Ask at the train station, hotel, or in the city when navigating to the ferry terminal. Many cities have their ferry port separate from the cruise terminal or fishing harbour.
'Porto' means port, harbour, or haven. 'Dei' is 'di + i' (of the, masculine plural). 'Traghetti' is the plural of 'traghetto'. The phrase 'porto dei traghetti' specifies the ferry area within a larger port — important in cities like Naples or Genoa with multiple port zones.
