Salerno Travel Forum

hey,
we're going from sicily up as far as rome and we were thinking of staying somewhere near naples for a few days and using this as a base to travel around the region. i have heard bad things about naples was just wondering if salerno would be a good place to stay over a night or 2 and travel to pompeii/ vesuvius /herculaneum/ salerno beach (ww2).or does anyone have any other ideas of where would be good to stay around here. we are students aswell, so accommodation would hopefully be cheap. Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,
don't miss the beautiful Amalfi coast with Amalfi, Ravello and Positano. But I would not recommend to stay overnight in these villages as they are rather expensive. Maybe you'll find a small hotel in or around around Salerno. I think it would be the best place for your ideas of trips.
Have fun!

cheers for the help! will check it out.
I suppose this is a stupid question but how much are hotels in general? im presuming it varies a lot depending on where you are. also aare there any youth hostels around this region.
Thanks for your help.

Hi!
Actually I don't know. It was an organized trip, so there was no work for me ;)
Just checked by google and found this one:
http://www.youth-hostel.co.uk/hostels/italy.asp
There is one in Salerno, which seems pretty cheap. If there is no space available, they maybe can help you with some other address....

thanks for the link! that will come in very handy. has a list of hostels of where we'd hoped to stay in sicily aswell! this will ease things considerably.

Hi again,
I was wondering that I didn't find an official list of youth hostels in Italy. So I couldn't stop searching... by checking the german youth hostel page I followed links and found the italian one:
http://www.ostellionline.org/

I don't know if theses hostels are the same than in the other list, but it should be easy to find out for you... :)

Happy travelling!
Christian.
