Hello all, I wanted some advice about how to get to Napoli (Naples) the moment we arrive in Bari. We will be coming from the ferry from Dubrovnik.

How does one get to the train or bus station from the PORT AREA? Is there a regular bus?

Are there many trips to Naples from Bari by both bus and train?
Which is faster and which is cheaper?

By the way, I heard there are ferries from Bari to Patras.

From Bari, is the ferry ride to Patras a safe and pleasant journey? No big waves? Or should I get ready for sea sickness? We plan to travel in Spring.

How often are the ferries to Patras? Daily? Are there many companies that do this route?

Thank you for all the advice.

Is there a quick connection between the airport and the train station?

Hello,

If I am arriving at the airport in the early morning 02SEP and later departing via ferry in the late afternoon, would I be able to check in my bags early with jadrolinija? or is there a suitable place in the Bari town area where I could leave bags??

Thanks very much...

We are taking a cruise out of Port of Bari in October. We will be taking the bus from Palermo to Bari. Need to know if there is a local bus to the port and about how far it is. Thanks!!!

I am travelling to Naples in the second week of September arriving in Bari by
RyanAir and proceeding to Naples by train. Is there a shuttle bus from Bari Airport to the Station from where I can get the Naples train? Can you please help me?
Thanks

How can i get from port to center, or to railwaystation, in order to leave lugagge?

Could someone please give me a rough estimate of how long the drive from Bari Port to Bari arport is and how much a taxi would be?

Thanks

I'm catching a ferry to Bari from Corfu and will be arriving at 7.30am. I need to fly to Rome. I did find a cheap flight that leaves the same day I arrive at 10.45am but i'm worried won't make the flight on time. My other option is to fly out at 5pm but this leaves me with quite a few hours in Bari. Is there anywhere in the town I can store my bag while I walk around and do some sightseeing? I will have a giant backpack so don't really want to spend all day carrying it around with me.

Cheers

Night Train "Targeste" arrives Bari Central Station at 07:05. Is there any possibility to take an 08:55 onwards flight from Bari Airport to Athens, keeping in view the transfer time?

Hello, Our cruise ship is docking in Bari for 3 hours on Tuesday, May 19th and I am wondering if it is worth even getting off the ship. We find the cruise ship excursions very expensive, but would like to "see what we could see" in this short time. Are there any sites? shops? restaurants? near the pier? How far from the pier to the Old Town? What could we possibly visit in this time? Thanks in advance!!!

Im travelling to Bari in April and I was wondering if anybody could answer the following question's for me

2.What will the weather be like from April 1st till the 5th?
3.What are the best sightseeing place's to visit?
4.I might also be interested in a day sailig trip to Albania.Montenegro or Croatia,do you know hong long it would take to sail to either country.what are the ship companies that do the trip's and roughly how much it would cost?
Thank's,Chris.

Are the stores open and is shopping available during April 5-11, 2009, I was told that since it is holy week the stores are closed????

I believe there are at least 2 or 3 bus companies that offer a bus service departing Naples for Bari. Both Mazzotti & Marinobus and Mako operate bus services - I think Marino Bus has a service leaving about 12.30pm and arriving in Bari about 4.30pm. Both bus companies have websites online for bus tickets however both sites are a little tricky to navigate timetables and tickets as they are both in Italian only.

My son & his girl have Eurail 2nd class Youth passes and wish to buy walk on tickets for the bari to patras ferry at the port before boarding.

Unfortunately they can't book ferry tickets online - as Superfast/Blue Ferries don't offer online bookings for Eurail passholders which offer them free deck seating for the ferry crossing plus a fee for fuel surcharge and embarkation fees.

As they are travelling on a Monday evening, the 1st of June, we think that they should be able to secure walk on deck seats on the ferry providing we arrive 2 hours before boarding(8pm)as recommended by Superfast ferries.

My son is travelling by train in the morning from Sorrento to Naples in the morning. The 2.15pm train from naples via caserta to bari gets them to Bari too late at 6.15pm. (Then they must get from the train tot he ferry)

I have read quite a few blogs on this subject from other travellers who seem to have similar transport problems to us.

If any member can give us any information or advice that can help us we would much appreciate it.

Thanks

Is it safe to be a tourist in Bari?

Dear friends,

I'm in a serious lack of help, please, share all your experience, which I would appreciate highly! And anytime you need mine, I'm all yours! :)
The thing is that we (two young couples and a single friend of ours) are coming to Italy on the 28th of june and are staying untill the 12th of july. We're looking for an unexpensive way to spend our holidays by the sea...But as we've never been to Italy we don't know what to start our search with and where to look for rental suggestions. We are looking for any nice region by the sea side, where the house or an appartment or nice bungalo even would cost 1000 euro per two weeks per whole maximum (for the perioud of our staying)...might be a fisherman's village or a small town..whatever...We personally are more interested in a small kinda ethnic fisherman's house near the sea, than an appartment in a new built cottage. We are not that much concerned about the condition, you know..it should just be nice and romantic :)...Could you please be so kind to recommend us some regions where we should look for such an accomodation? Do you think we could find something nice (pretty near to the sea) by 1000 euro max in the perioud? Where (what web sites) can we look for such rental suggestions? Thank you in advance for any kind of information!!!Yours forever, Masha from Russia :)

My husband and i need to get from the airport to the central train station. We don't want to pay for a taxi, so is there a bus we could take? If so how often does the bus run?

One more question, if we make a reservation on a train to Lecce ahead of time, but we get to the train station in time to take an earlier train, can we use the same ticket for the earlier train?

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Maureen

Hi all!

Can somebody suggest how to get from Bari airport to Castro Marina by train, bus or ferry?

I was curious if anyone knew whether it is necessary (or recommended) to purchase tickets for a train from Bari to Rome ahead of time...Also are there any suggestions for travel inbetween Rome and Bari...(or if there is a cheaper route that can lead to an eventual arrival in Rome?)

Thanks!
