Travel Information  

SEE SCHEDULE BELOW FOR PRECISE ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE DATES.

Your Destination: For arrival at the festival, your most convenient option is to fly into the city of Naples, which is approximately 40 minutes from our facilities (see map of area).

An alternative (and sometimes less expensive) route is to to fly into Rome, in which case you will need to transfer to the "Termini" Station in downtown Rome and take a train to Salerno (about 3 hours), which is about 10 minutes from our facilities. There is a metro-style train from the Rome "Fiumicino" airport into the city.

AIRLINES: All participants are free to make their travel plans at their own discretion. There are many efficient websites with a range of flights and prices. However, for convenience and cost,  you may want to check Eurofly (see below) or consult our agents who work hard to place people together on the same flights - allowing us to expedite ground transportation to and from our facilities.

(Click on logo above for direct connection to "Flight Reservations" - Type in Naples from menu and use electronic calendar to highlight desired dates.) Or contact the agent below (Hello Italy Travel).

Eurofly is the official festival airline as it is one of the few airlines which has direct flights to Naples (from JFK in New York) and offers the best bargain however the dates do not always correspond to program dates (see below). You may need to come early or stay another day.
