NEW Vietri sul Mare Ferry Service

Hi,

We are looking to fly from London to Istanbul in late-July and returning in early/mid-August. We're a group of 6 - 5 of us are fully vaccinated, and the other is aged 17, therefore unvaccinated.

Unfortunately, direct flights have skyrocketed in price, and one convenient option contains a booking operated by Alitalia and Pegasus Airlines - luckily all under one booking, albeit it will be a travel agency booking.

The outbound flight will be arriving in Milan Linate, and departing from Bergamo on the following day (with a layover of about 17 hours). The return journey has a 20 hour overnight layover in Rome.

As British travellers, I understand that Italy have imposed a 5 day quarantine until 30 July, but given our travel plans (with proof that can be provided), would we be required to also self-isolate, or is our layover an exception that can permit us to simply check into a hotel and continue with our journey the next day?

Thanks

We are 2 families - one : 2 adults and 2 children (18,21) and other family: 2 adults with a six year old child who shall be going overland from Sicily to Amalfi Coast in early July 2021. We were considering driving to Messina from Raguza area, take the ferry and drive to Maratea and stop overnight. The next day we shall drive to Sorrento and stay there for a few days. This was our draft itinerary so far.:

DAY 1 :

Drive to Messina - Ferry to Villa San Giovanni, Drive to Maratea and stay Maratea

DAY 2 :

Drive and stop to visit Salerno, then Vietri sul mare, Cetara and finally Sorrento and

stay at Sorrento (accommodation for next few days)

DAY 3 :

Drive and stop to visit Positano and then Praiano and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 4 :

Drive and stop to visit Ravello and Amalfi and see town centres. Return Sorrento

DAY 5 :

Visit Sorrento Centre and Drive to Napoli or Salerno to catch Ferry to Palermo or Messina in the evening- overnight stay on the ferry

DAY 6 :

Arrive Palermo or Messina - depending on the ferry trip and availability. Spend a day in Sicily and end of trip.

Any suggestions please re entire itinerary. Not sure whether we should stop in Maratea or somewhere close - not to have a long way driving and whether to base ourselves at Sorrento. We are also undecided whether to catch the Ferry To Palermo or to Messina?

Please advise

ATV are obviously expecting things to get back to normal, and from today are operating a 'normal' summer timetable. You can download the timetables and a handy map of the routes from he

One main change is that the 164 Garda/Verona bus will no longer travel via the airport, instead there is a new bus service 482 running hourly between the airport and Peschiera, Lazise, Bardolino and Garda.

The Venice service will only run on Tuesdays and Thursdays and the Opera bus service will also resume.

Hello all,

We are planning to visit around Lake Como starting from tomorrow (Wednesday - 28 Jul), and we will stay in a hotel near Lecco. However, we just saw in the news that there is a massive flood in the Como area (west shore) that caused many roads to be closed, and it will rain more until Wednesday evening.

Unfortunately, we have a non-refundable booking, and our hotel told us that there is no flood whatsoever around Leko. Is there anyone in the Como area who could tell how bad the situation is? And in case of a weather-related reason like this, is there any way of getting a refund on a non-refundable booking?

Thank you.

Any good pizza recommendations in Polignano a Mare?

Hi,

I'm tentatively looking at booking a trip to the Seaside resort town of Agropoli in early September. Can anyone please comment on any restrictions. Such as, are cafes open? Are the ferries running? Any information is appreciated.

I got my easyjet booking confirmation for August 2021, and it says T1 but it has always been T2 in the past.

I am nervous to book my car hire pickup and dropoff (dropoff is early) from T1 in case it switches back to T2 in August.

Any ideas what is happening with T2?

I have made a preliminary booking through Rentalcar for a car from Noleggiare. The price is a ceptable but the deposit amount seems too high to me-1298 euro.

Is it a normal deposit?

May I consider Noleggiare a company to be trusted?

we are traveling to Naples in October 21 and would like to know if we could still catch a ferry on the 5th October to Sorrento and return on the 9th October?? or has ferry service finished by then

would be grateful if someone could let us know

Hi!

I am trying to buy a train ticket before I leave the US for Milano Centrale to Verona.

My flight lands at 7:45 a.m if it is on time.

So, I will first take the Malpensa train to Milano Centrale. I won’t hsve any checked luggage to gather, just carryon.

Any approximate times you think that I would be safe booking?

Or just take a Regionale where I can hop on any train?

What do you think?

Thank you in advance for any suggestions and advice.
