Circulate
On a boat
By train
A main line connects the north of the country to Calabria. It is widely used in summer by those from the South who have gone to Rome or Milan to study and work there, so at this season it is sometimes difficult to find a seat there.
By car
A single motorway serves the entire region, it is theA3 who links Naples and Salerno at Reggio di Calabria south of the Peninsula. This route is free of charge when crossing the Basilicata and Calabria, which explains the poor condition of the road which can become formidable for the mechanics of the cars and the service areas which are more distant from each other. Watch out for very tight turns (which is saying a lot ...) in the reliefs. The only compensation: very close interchanges make it possible to find a service station if the gauge arrives on the reserve and even a stall where to eat when the stomach begins to growl.
The state of national and secondary roads varies depending on the axes taken but often poor inland.
Beware of Calabrians who have the annoying tendency to crush the mushroom once on the road. Do not show them your dissatisfaction because they are sometimes sensitive and could get you in trouble.
By bike
Cycling to visit the region is possible, but you should be careful on the roads, the locals are known for their very sporty driving.

security
In this part of southern Italy, thefts are very frequent and it is advisable not to take your eyes off your personal belongings as well as your nomadic multimedia equipment. Do not leave anything in sight inside your vehicle, because rental cars and those registered abroad are immediately spotted, prefer to park your vehicle at night in the garage of the hotel where you sleep. Remember to make photocopies of official documents (passport, identity card, driving license, etc.) and record the number of your means of payment separately (bank card and checks, etc.) in order to facilitate their declaration to the authorities. in the event of theft or loss.
Do not try to strike up a conversation about the local mafia, few people risk their lives in order to expose those of organizations.
