Hello travelers. I have 2 questions. We arrive Lamezia mid April, hire car and stay in Tramutola, Basilicata 1 week, then few days Maratea and along the coast, return car to Lamezia airport.
From there plan to go by train to Sicily 1 week. Then undecided, toying with the idea of train to Cinque Terra or Lakes for 1 week??
1. Does anyone know whether the train station (to Sicily)is within walking distance from Lamezia Airport?
2. How does our itinerary sound? We have been to the most popular tourist cities and now prefer to explore lesser known/non touristy areas in the South and Sicily. Would be grateful for any tips/ideas. Thank you

I haven't been there, but the airport's website ( http://www.sacal.it/aeroporto/engarrivare.htm ) reports that the train station is two kilometers away from the airport, which is about what the maps at www.viamichelin.com suggest...perhaps too far with your luggage...

According to the local transport company's website, it looks like it's a 5 minute bus ride - see http://www.lameziamultiservizi.it/index.php?area=TRASPORTI&id=21&linea=4&MyFermata=0
and go down to the second "Aeroporto" in the left hand column, and note that "Stazione FF.SS. (Lamezia Terme Centrale)" is the second stop after that...make sense?

Of course, I would expect that there would be taxis more than happy to take you and your luggage the short trip ;-)

Many thanks Bill for your helpful reply, and yes, it does make sense. Cheers
