The easiest way of travelling around Italy
is by train. The Italian train system is one
of the least expensive in Europe, reasonably
comprehensive, and, in the north of the country
at least, very efficient - and is far preferable
over long distances to the fragmented, localized
and sometimes grindingly slow bus service. Local
buses, though, can be very efficient, and where
it is actually a better idea to take a bus we've
said as much in the text. Planes are expensive
and are best reserved for longer journeys where
time is tight. Ferries ply to all the Italian
islands, and also serve international routes
to Greece, Albania, Croatia, Malta, Yugoslavia,
Corsica and Tunisia . We've detailed train,
bus and ferry frequencies in the "Travel
Details" section at the end of each section
of the Guide: note that these refer to regular
working-day schedules, (ie Monday to Saturday);
services may be much reduced or even non-existent
on Sundays. More
