transportation

Becky, you've got two separate postings with different questions but the same title. You can edit an existing posting by clicking on the button right under it once you're in it. I suggest changing this one to something like "Transit options in Sicily" and the other to "Transit options - Varenna"

Ferry companies, I just did a google search: http://www.cemar.it/dest/ferries_sicily.htm I also found this one with a whole list of ferry companies. I know we've sailed on MOBY and SNAV before. (MOBY to Elba, and SNAV from Palermo to Naples) http://consar0.startlogic.com/ferries.html Train (FAST train) http://www.trenitalia.com/cms/v/index.jsp?vgnextoid=ad1ce14114bc9110VgnVCM10000080a3e90aRCRD Or just regular trains www.trenitalia.com

Trenitalia is the main train company. There are a variety of bus companies serving the island depending on locations. This is the updated list of bus companies operating in Sicily (source: Sicily Regional Government):

thank you for your suggestions
