I want to go mid January 2013 from Bari to Lecce (same day excursion) but can find fast train (frecceargento) only in the afternoon while going from Lecce to Bari onlyin the morning. I found out thats because this is the Lecce-Rome connections. While frecce takes 1:20hours, the regional lines take 3:50 hours. Is there a faster way ? maybe by bus ?

I am traveling from Otranto to Gallipoli. The train schedule shows just a few minutes at the station before it shows a different train number. Do you have to change trains in Maglie and Zollino? It doesn't seem like 2 or 3 minutes is enough to get off and get on another train with luggage. Do the train stations of Ferrovie del Sud Est normally have bars and bathrooms like Trenitalia? I will be going also from Gallipoli to Taranto and have quite a wait in Novoli and Martina Franca. Thank you for your response

Hi, I am going to Noci in December. I get to know that the only train (maybe?)to Noci from Bari is by "Ferrovie Sud est" (FES). On their website: http://www.fseonline.it/ they say the train station in Bari for Noci is "Bari Centro" but without further indication of the address. I wonder whether "Bari centro" is "Bari centrale" which is the main train station in Bari or other train station nearby? Thank you very much for the help. Best, Isabel

I want to get to Celenza Valfortore (my mother's family is from there). I know there are buses from Foggia, but it looks like they would allow me only 4 hours. How hard is the drive from Foggia to Celenza? I already have my international driver's license. Is there any other alternative? I'm traveling with my sister. I was in Celenza in 1959, but would like to take her.

We are traveling from Naples to Monopoli. We have train reservations that get us to Bari. How do we get from Bari to Monopoli and our hotel Cala Corvino Club II:

We are an active senior couple from the USA who will be visiting in Bari on September 14. We would enjoy meeting an English-speaking resident or couple who would like to show us around your city/town and hopefully create a friendship. Learning about your culture and way of life is of interest to us. And this is a good way to create peace in the world. If interested and free that day, please post a reply. No professional tour-guides, please. Bob & Fran

Hi, I am traveling from Bari airport to Vieste on the 25th of August 2012. The direct shuffle bus is once per 5 hours (so it leaves you with 4 hr airport hang out and very late arrival). Is anyone else traveling to Vieste that evening that would like to share the taxi fair? Thanks Olka

We then plan to take the train to Monopoli. Can we purchase the train tickets once we arrive at the station? We arrive at 10:30AM. We did not know if we should purchase the online, and worried if we did we may miss our train if the flight had delays. What should we do?

Hi I am looking to spend a week in Puglia end of September with my boyfriend. We intend hiring a car and would like to travel around. We will fly to Brindisi. I am trying to work out where to be based or if it would be better to split the time between two locations. We would like to stay in an area that has a bit of life in the evenings with lots of good traditional restaurants to dine out at. In the day time we would drive to various sites and beaches. Please can you recommend best location that time of year and accommodation. We like to stay in 4/5* locations with nice views. Ideally a location near to a nice sandy beach but also a quaint little town with good choice for eating out. Thanks Bmmos

Hi all, I will be visiting Puglia for 5 days with my mum at the beginning of September, flying into Bari. I am starting to research the trip so would love to hear any suggestions for things to do / places to see during this short break. We are currently interested in seeing some of the historic sites such as the Trulli in Alberobello, but also in enjoying the surrounding scenery including the beaches. We are looking for a relaxing break, rather than trying to squeeze everything in in one go! And we will be mostly travelling by public transport. Can anyone suggest an interesting itinerary? Thanks in advance and I will be sure to check through previous forum posts too!

Hello to everyone, What is the fastest way to get from Brindisi to Sorrento? AWe do not want to drive. And any tips on hotels in Sorrento, and tours to Capri and Positano? Thank you.

Since no one but Ingrid answered the parking question, I'm guessing there aren't many Trani-ites out there, but here's another question (maybe Ingrid will know :-) TraniWeb (www.traniweb.it), which seems to be THE site for information, says the cathedral does NOT close for lunch (operta 9-20). I'd love to believe this, but I can't help being a bit skeptical, especially off-season (I'm going in a few weeks). Thanks to anyone with personal knowledge to share. -Spencer
