Flights: The two main airports in Puglia are Bari and Brindisi.
Ryanair offer budget flights from London Stansted to Bari Airport (called Palese Airport)and to Brindisi(Casale Airport). There are also Ryanair flights from Frankfurt to Bari. EasyJet flies to Brindisi and Bari
TUIfly offer low cost flights from Cologne, Munich and Stuttgart.
British Airways and Alitalia also fly to Bari and Brindisi.
The well served airports of Naples (3 hour drive), Rome (4 hour drive), Ancona and Pescara (3 hour drive) are also an easy way to reach our area.
By train: The "Ferrovie dello Stato" line end up in Lecce and there is a local train service (Ferrovie Sud Est) leaving from the same railstation that connects the towns in the area of Salento,: not a very fast way to travel but we do recomend you try it as it is an interesting experience for a day out with the family. The kids will love the little trains!
Car Hire: We would suggest that you hire a car. Main car hire companies have desks at all airports (Hertz, Avis, Budget, Europcar...) and it costs less to pre-book a vehicle on the internet, before your arrival here.
The Italian Highway Code follows the Geneva Convention and Italy uses international road signs: driving is on the right , passing on the left.
