Salerno - the road less travelled - via Brindisi and Taranto.
A very early start - 6.40 am train from Lecce! With changes at Brindisi and Taranto before getting to Salerno around 2pm. I had hoped to be able to see a bit of these towns, but not everything goes to plan. Nonetheless it was a good trip, especially as we travelled through spectacular mountains, over ravines, and along valleys. The clumps and fields of poppies added delightful color along the way.
Salerno is a lovely city, modern and relaxed with a charming old quarter, where our airbnb was located. We had a good wander before finding somewhere for a drink and then dinner. Our wanderings took us along the seafront, and to some of the little piazzas and lanes we walked last time we were here (Christmas 2019) for the Festival of Lights.Read more
