Trains run from Rome to Calabria almost every 2 hours. you can see it here - http://www.trenitalia.com/. The most convenient is the high-speed train that leaves at 1730 and at 2130 you are already in Lamezia Terme. It costs from 29 euros per person.
You can also fly by plane, fly about 1 hour. You can fly for 20 euros and 30 euros and 200 euros - there is a choice.
Well, you can also go by car or bus - the distance is 500 km. The road is quite good, well, + look at the coast! And there is something to see.
I hope our review has helped you. We are ready to answer any other questions about Calabria.

And yet - when you buy a ticket (and you can buy it either with a card, or at the box office in Termini or right at the airport when you buy an express ticket, you can buy it to Calabria right away), arrive at the station in 30 minutes. Your train will appear on the departure board 10 minutes, maybe less. Don't panic, Termini is a very large station and it's normal practice there. Just stand and wait for your train to appear and go there. Find your car, your place, get comfortable and enjoy! During the trip, the conductor will come to you and check the ticket. Stops will be announced in advance, so you will not pass yours.

lovecalabria! Hello. We decided to go on vacation to Calabria in June, but what is the weather like at this time of the year? Will it be possible to swim? How difficult is it to organize a trip from there to Sardinia and Sicily on your own? Isn't it enough to allocate one day to these islands?

Irina, good afternoon! Just saw your message. Perhaps still relevant: In June it is already warm in Calabria, the sea is still fresh, but everyone is already swimming (usually at the end of April they even swim).
It is not at all difficult to organize a trip to Sicily on your own, especially if you rent a car there. There is a ferry from Villa San Giovanni to Messina, almost every 30-40 minutes. 1 day for the whole of Sicily, of course, is not enough, but if you only want to visit, say, Taormina, then it’s quite enough, and in a good way you should devote at least a day to each city (considering that they are not very close) , Palermo, Taormina, etc.
It’s more difficult to get to Sardinia, there are more ferries going there - from Genoa, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Naples, but firstly, the minimum travel time is about 8 hours (From Calabria to Sicily, for comparison, 20 minutes), and secondly, to Naples 300 km, and Villa San Giovanni - directly in Calabria. Even if you are in the Capo Vaticano area, then this is a maximum of 80-100 km.
But in general, everything is possible! We had cases when people from Calabria sailed through Civitavecchia to Barcelona, and it’s not at all a problem to swim to Sardinia :)

Elena, good afternoon!
We are going to Colabria (Ricadi) via Rome. I understand that these questions have been asked many times, but I have not found an answer on how to get from Rome to Ricadi. Are there direct trains? Or do you need to transfer somewhere? I found the Rome-Lamezia train, but I didn’t find the Lamezia-Ricadi train either. Maybe you know and tell me, thanks in advance! Also, what is the cheapest way to get there, bus or train?
Sincerely, Natalia

Trains run to Ricadi, from Lamezia about 1 hour, but if you are coming from Rome, then you will need to change in Lamezia Terme.
You can look at www.trenitalia.com, just choose in the search box the tab not le frecce but tutti i treni.
In general, the bus may be cheaper, but finding the right bus will not be easy. look at the trains - they are of various categories and prices.

another question, on the website of the Italian Railways
Rome is indicated by several options, all in Italian, how to understand which one is required? I suspect that these are different stations ... but I want to know for sure

The central station in Rome is Termini, it will be more convenient from there. Take further Google maps and type the route from Lamezia to Vibo Valentia (as in the puzzle, point A and point B), click - get there by car, the route with all turns will be displayed. You are planning car, there is public transport and on foot.

tell me who booked apartments or houses on the coast, how all this happens.
for example, I found suitable apartments on the homeaway website, a house in Italy on the coast, the owner (or whoever he is) judging by the phone number in England, how will they give me the keys to the house, will they check it before leaving, etc. ???

2 it.s1ash,
Station - Lamezia Terme. The easiest and most affordable way to get to Vibo is by car. 30-35 euros per day and you with the whole family in 40 minutes in Vibo. You can also train, but it will require much more effort. The road to Vibo from Lamezia is simple, at the entrance to Pizzo there are signs at every turn, but it is advisable to load maps into your phone.

2 it.s1ash - about stations, always look at those options that are TUTTI, i.e. everything, all stations. To Lamezia from Rome go only with Termini (Termini).
I wouldn't get to Vibo from Lamezia on foot :))

2 it.s1ash, in theory, the owners should have a certain representative on the spot (lucky if they speak English). But here you have to be careful. Please clarify this question beforehand. However, from English contacts - this is most likely an agency that probably has its own people "in the field".

Last year I booked an apartment in Rome. Firm "Khaldis", at the appointed time, an agent was waiting for us, who handed us the keys and showed that he was in the apartment. On the day of departure, he also appeared to get the keys back.

A lease agreement is drawn up and 50% of the cost is paid. This is for visa plus tickets.

Good afternoon! We are planning the following route: on August 21, we need to leave (fly) from Rome and have time to check into a hotel in Santa Domenica di Ricardi. Back: leave (fly) from Calabria on August 24 and have time to check into a hotel in Rome. Tell me the fastest and most budget option, please :)

Good afternoon!
The options remain basically the same:
1) Plane to Lamezia Terme + Taxi (Taxi will be 70-100 euros per car, you need to look at the plane, prices from 50 euros, on average 100-150 round trip). www.alitalia.com
2) Train. From 29 euros. Travel time is from 4 to 9-12 hours, departures are almost every 2 hours. www.trenitalia.com it is more convenient to go to lamezia, and there is a taxi. Or you can go and, say, to Tropea or even Ricadi, but then look at the route - there may be a transfer to Lamezia.
3) car rental. Fiat panda - 30-35 euros per day. We left at 8 in the morning, 7 hours leisurely, 5 at normal speed, and some fly from Pizzo in 4 hours, and then another 30-50 minutes to Ricadi.
Less confused, it seems to me - the train to the nearest station. Ask your hotel and have them arrange a transfer from the station.
Respectfully,
LoveCalabria.ru !

we rent an apartment, the nearest station is within walking distance of joppolo, but judging by the schedule, trains rarely go there, as long as we arrive on Sunday, car rental only works at the airport, so we first wanted to go to the apartments and on Monday we would go to lamezia and take car rental
