Find train tickets →Catanzaro City Centre (Piazza Matteotti) → Near Agriturismo Il Lago del Passante (Località Passante)
💡 Alight at the 'Passante' stop and walk 800 metres downhill—the agriturismo’s sign is easy to miss. This bus doesn’t run on Sundays or public holidays, so plan accordingly.
Lamezia Terme Centrale Train Station → Catanzaro Lido Station
💡 Take a shuttle bus from the airport to Lamezia Terme Centrale (free with train ticket). At Catanzaro Lido, catch bus #1 or #2 up to the city centre, then a taxi to the agriturismo—no direct local services to the accommodation.
Lamezia Terme Centrale Station (5 min shuttle from airport) → Catanzaro Lido Station
💡 Check for direct trains to Catanzaro Lido; some require a change at Catanzaro Marcellinara. Avoid delays in summer when tracks get heat-affected.
Lamezia Terme International Airport (SUF) → Catanzaro City Bus Station (Piazza Stazione)
💡 Get off at Piazza Stazione, not the Lido stop. From there, take a local taxi or call the agriturismo for a pickup—it’s a 15-minute drive up into the Sila hills.
Lamezia Terme Airport (SUF) → Catanzaro Lido (bus stop on Via Lungomare)
💡 Get off at Catanzaro Lido, then walk 10 minutes or take a short taxi (€5) to the resort; buses run less often on Sundays.
Lamezia Terme International Airport (SUF) → Agriturismo Il Lago del Passante
💡 Book ahead with a local taxi service like Taxi Lamezia to avoid surge pricing. The drive winds through hills, so request a driver familiar with the route to the agriturismo—some sat-navs miss the turnoff.
