Italy has plenty of lovely small towns, but few are within easy reach of railway stations.
We are a group of friends who are looking to spend a week or so together in Italy next September. We’d like to avoid the major tourist towns and base ourselves in a smaller town accessible by train and make a couple of day trips.Italy has plenty of lovely small towns. My shortlist includes Montefalco and Spello in Umbria and Locorotondo and Martina Franca in Puglia, but few are within easy reach of railway stations.
My husband and I will be travelling by train from Berlin to Prague and Vienna next year, hoping to reach Montenegro for a restful beach break after city-hopping. Croatia was considered. Is it possible to reach Montenegro by train?Postcard perfect – the view to St George island from Our Lady of the Rocks, Perast, Montenegro.Fly. It’s by far the best option. Austrian Airlines has a non-stop flight from Vienna to Podgorica, with a flight time of one hour, 20 minutes.
From there continue to Noto, spend three nights and use this as a base to explore Ragusa and Modica before continuing to Ortigia, linked by a bridge to Syracuse. Spend the rest of your time here and make day trips to explore Catania and take the Circumetnea Railway train that makes a circuit of the villages at the base of Mount Etna. If you have time, visit Taormina, yet another knockout.
