How to get to Scalea?
The most convenient way to arrive to Scalea from abroad is to fly to Napoli or Roma and then ride a train. It is also possible to fly to Lamezia Terme (South of Scalea).
From Napoli Capodichino airport you can easily get to the Napoli Centrale station by taking a bus of the company Alibus. The bus stop is located in front of the main entrance of the airport, near the McCafe. The airport is quite small you will have no problem in finding the Alibus. Buses depart every 20 minutes from 6:30 am to 11:30 pm daily. The ride costs 4 euros and tickets can be bought on board. It takes about 20 minutes to reach the station. A taxi from the airport to Napoli station should cost around 20 euros.
The timetable for trains from Napoli to Scalea can be consulted on the web site of the Ferrovie dello Stato. Use preferably an IC train if possible, as they are faster and more comfortable. Notice that the official name of Scalea station is Scalea - San Domenica Talao.
