Traveling to your holiday accommodation in Sicily

By train

Journey by train from Southern Germany is one of the least expensive ways of travelling.

The fastest train connection by Euro-Night (daily) takes the route from Munich via Austria to Rome, from where an Italian train continues on to Messina (Sicily). Stops on the way are Rosenheim, Kufstein, Wörgl, Jenbach and Innsbruck. The journey takes about 21 hours.

Our guests from Austria can take the Euro-Night from Vienna to Rome, via Bruck a.d. Mur, Leoben, Knittelfeld, Friesach, Klagenfurt and Villach.

Our guests from the southeast of Germany and from Switzerland are recommended to take the night trains from Milan. Unfortunately, the Euro-Night Zurich-Rome was canceled.

Cilentano recommends traveling by train, which is environment- and climate-friendly!

By car and ferry

It is at Bologna where the routes taken by vacationers from Southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland meet.

From Bologna, the Autostrada del Sole takes you to Rome and from there further down south as far as the Strait of Messina. At the ferry port of Villa San Giovanni you cross over to Sicily. Follow the signs "Imbarchi per la Sicilia". The name of the ferry operator is Caronte e tourist. Information, timetables and prices for the route are found here
