Getting to Galatina

Detailed directions of how to get to the property will be sent to you at the time of booking. The following information will give you an idea of how to get to the beautiful town of Galatina. The property is located in the very heart of Galatina's historical centre.

Flights:

There are a number of reasonably priced airlines that fly from the UK to Puglia (Bari or Brindisi Airports). These include (but are not restricted to) the following:

www.ryanair.com - To either Bari or Brindisi

www.alitalia.com - From Heathrow to Bari or Brindisi

www.britishairways.com - From Gatwick to Bari

www.easyjet.com - From Gatwick to Bari

Flights from The North will probably require a connection. BA and Germanwings fly to Puglia (Bari) via London or Cologne respectively. Again, Alitalia may also be an option from Manchester or Edinburgh but requires stops at Paris and Rome. These change-overs are generally very easy and relatively relaxed.

Another alternative is to fly directly into Rome (approx 6 hours drive) or Naples (approx 4 hour drive). Easyjet flies from Edinburgh, Liverpool, Bristol and London, whilst Ryanair flies from Edinburgh, Glasgow, East Midlands, Manchester and London.

Trains & Buses:

The trains run throughout the region and are generally both cheap and reliable. Brindisi to Galatina takes approximately 1 hour (change at Lecce). From Bari to Galatina takes approximately 2 hours (again, change at Lecce). The train station in Galatina is approximately 15 minutes walk from the property.
