Getting to Pollica:

The closest airport is Napoli, and the closest train station to Pollica is Vallo della Lucania. 

by train/taxi from nearby airports

  • From Roma Fiumicino Airport: from the airport you can either take a taxi of the Leonardo Express train to the main station, Roma Termini. Tickets can be purchased at the airport at the Trenitalia machines. From Roma Termini there you can take a train to Vallo della Lucania (there are fast trains available).
     
  • From Napoli Capodichino Airport: from the airport you can either take a taxi or the Alibus to Napoli Stazione Centrale. From there you can take a train to Vallo della Lucania.

You can see the train schedule and book your tickets from the Trenitalia website. You may also check the Italo train company. If you’ve booked a stay with the local B&B association, they will arrange a pick up from Vallo della Lucania. In order to do so, please communicate the expected arrival time to them by sending an email to pollicacittaslow@gmail.com.

by car from Napoli/Roma:

You can rent a car at the airport either in Napoli or Roma. The drive from Napoli takes about 3 hours while from Roma is closer to 5 hours. Having a car while in Pollica makes it easier to explore the Cilento area. Please be aware that most available cars might have manual transmission. 

by train from Napoli:

There are many trains to Vallo della Lucania departing both from Napoli Centrale and Roma Termini (you can check schedules and book trains at https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html or https://www.italotreno.it/en). The station "Napoli Centrale" can be reached easily by bus from the airport in Naples. Vallo della Lucania is still about 40 minutes drive from Pollica which will be arranged free of charges.

From Roma Fiumicino airport you can take the “Leonardo Express” (tickets can be purchased at the airport at the Trenitalia machines) to Roma Termini train station and from Roma Termini take a fast train to Napoli Centrale (you can check schedules and book trains at https://www.trenitalia.com/en.html or https://www.italotreno.it/en). The train ride from Rome to Naples is of about one hour and there are many trains per day. Note that reservation is required.

If you are flying into Napoli, there is a bus from the airport to Acciaroli (less than 10 minutes drive from Pollica) which can be booked at https://www.agenziainfanteviaggi.it. Notice that there is a single bus ride per day, we suggest considering arriving in Pollica by train or by car.
