Puglia to Calabria- public transport

What would be the best and shortest way to cross from Messina to Reggio Calabria and back by car in August?

Hi,

We are spending some time in Sardinia and have a few days spare en route from Alghero to Cagliari.

Can anyone advise on a nice place between the two for which to spend 3/4 nights?

We will be travelling by public transport between the two so we need it to be easily accessible by train/bus.

All tips appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

My Plan A was Sicily but may have to park that until October!

Plan B, flying into Napoli and I guess I want to explore places I've not seen before! 2 week itinerary required!

Rough idea is spending two nights in Rome with seeing Galleria Borghese and Capitol Hill museo

I was only in Rome last summer and explored alot then as I had a full week!

This time I would like to see Tivoli and Hadrian's villa, any other day trips?

I'm hoping to get Assisi seen too.

Making my way.... public transporte, train, to Puglia, I'd like to see in particular Lecce, Matera, Maratea, Peastum, Caserta in Campania! Flight out of Napoli!!

Please advise on a feasible itinerary! Looking for suggestions on good bases to stay for 2/3 nights before moving my luggage off again!

Thank you!

Hi.Can anybody give me information on public transport from the airport to Bari Vecchia please?We hope tp go in September 2021 depending on the Covid situation.Grazie mille,Kaitlin.

I have read that one of the corona measures in Italy is that the capacity of the trains (and maybe other public transport) is limited to 50% of full capacity. This also applies to the regional trains ?

I'm planning to be in Liguria next month an want to walk around Cinque Terre and visit by train from La Spezia, so can start in the morning at one village/station and end at another village/station. Maybe also take a regional train into Genoa.

We will be in Brindisi centre for 4 days. I am thinking to visit Ostuni by train or bus for a day. Can you suggest other day trips that are easy by public transport from Brindisi? (apart from Lecce as we have already been a couple of times and we would like to visit new places).

Hi guys

I need help to get my itinerary together!!!

Flying into Napoli, have two weeks, want to see Sicily and Puglia region especially Lecce

Please advise, I was going to take a train all down Cliento coast with stop offs at stay overs but now considering much more to see in Sicily! I’ve see Napoli and Amalfi coast, but would like to get Paestum and perhaps a quick visit to puglia...

First off- this may be a bit of a 'bouncing around' post. Sorry! Trying to keep it clear...

I'm planning a trip for Spring 2022 Italy and France. So far, I have booked:

A) Flight into Rome and out of Paris

B) 3 nights in Rome and the following 4 nights in Cinque Terre (Riomaggiore).

This leaves 8 nights before my flight home.

I planned to get from Rome to Riomaggiore by train, via Florence, but this isn't booked yet.

I had thought after check out in the CT that I would go to Milan on an early bus or train, spend the day, and take a night/sleeper train from Milan to Paris, which I would then make my base, and do day trips here and there. I have been to Paris before, as well as Marseille and Nice. LOVE all three - want to see more of France, but also want to have a home base, to feel less nomadic.

I've found plenty of advice to take the Thello train for this. However, I also saw somewhere credible (of course...I can't find it again to quote here... it was on the Thello or Eurail website or something like that...), it looks like the Thello Paris-Milan/Venice is discontinued. Is this true? Are there any other sleeper train options Milan to Paris? I would really like to be able to do a few hours/day in Milan, but am completely open minded.

As a follow up question - I had thought it may be worth it to get the Eurail global 10 day pass. I believe it's good for 10 random days within a one or two month time period. Is this a better plan, to get me to my base camps, and use for the day trips from Paris, allowing me to do them solo rather than booking viator, or some such tour company?

Appreciate all friendly pieces of advice and responses!

I need to travel from Positano to Brindisi, Puglia on October 6. Is there a train or bus that will get me there? Thanks.

I'll be flying from the USA into MXP, landing at 7:30 AM in a few weeks on Thursday. Flight out is Saturday at around 5:00 PM from MXP to France. I mostly want to go to Lake Como, but I was hoping to also see Milan city if possible. I will be using public transport and prefer to stay somewhere that isn't Como city.

If anyone has experience, can you please give some advice on what would be the best way to do this? I was thinking either go straight to Milan and get an early train Friday morning to the lake and then straight to airport Saturday, or go straight to Lake Como and then Milan either late Friday night or super early Saturday and walk around for a few hours before my flight. I am open to skipping Milan if the schedule is too tight - I have already taken pictures in front of many churches and fountains in Europe, and I also don't have interest in museums.

I guess my concerns are using public transportation for such a long trip with a lot of transfers after landing in Milan - I could be held up in immigration for hours and maybe the trains aren't frequent? And also using public transport for a long trip on the same day as my flight out - if I don't make a connection, I could end up stuck somewhere!

Appreciate any insight you can give!

Thank you :)
