Bari-Palese Airport (BRI) – Karol Wojtyla – Puglia’s Primary International Hub

The Bari-Palese Airport, located approximately 100 miles (160 km) from the Gargano Peninsula, is the primary International Hub for the Puglia region. It serves as the central airport for domestic flight routes that are not yet connected to Foggia Airport (Gino Lisa).

Bari-Palese Airport offers major European and international routes such as London, Istanbul, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, and Munich, which expand during the summer season with direct flights to and from New York City.

I have landed in Bari; how do I get to the Gargano Peninsula?

You will find international car rental agencies as well as local professionals who are available to provide expert advice.

Airport Shuttle or Long-Distance Bus

Year-Round Services

Several transport options are available directly from the Bari-Palese Airport plaza:

Long-distance buses connect the airport terminal directly with the city of Foggia, arriving at the “Vincenzo Russo” Intermodal Hub (located right next to the main train station).

This stop is the primary reference point for anyone headed to the Gargano Peninsula. For this route, you can use the ticket offices of COTRAP (Apulian Transport Consortium) and Marozzi.

Transport options from Bari Airport also increase during the summer season to improve tourist mobility toward the Gargano Peninsula.

The services mentioned above may see an increase in frequency and adjustments to their schedules during this period.

The greatest convenience comes from the seasonal airport shuttle services, Puglia Airbus and Puglia Easy to Reach (formerly Gargano Easy to Reach). These will be active from June to September, departing from the Bari Airport plaza toward the most famous tourist destinations on the Gargano Peninsula.

Train Service – Ferrotramviaria

The airport rail link connecting Bari Airport to the Bari Centrale Station is managed by the local railway company Ferrotramviaria.

You can check schedules and purchase tickets at this link.

Traveling by Train

Taking the train is a more sustainable and scenic option for reaching the Gargano Peninsula.

There is no single direct train to reach the Gargano area; the journey necessarily unfolds across two distinct railway networks: the National network (Frecciarossa, Italo, Intercity, Regional), which brings you to the foot of the mountains, and the Local network (Ferrovie del Gargano), which leads you into the heart of the inland villages and the coastal towns served by the rail line.

Regardless of your departure city, your travel experience on the national railway network will end at one of the two gateway hubs: Foggia Station or San Severo Station. From there, you will switch platforms for the final leg of your journey.

Foggia Station or San Severo Station: Where Should You Actually Get Off?

Choosing your transfer station isn’t random: it depends on the train you’ve selected and your final destination.

Foggia Station – The Main Hub for the Gargano Peninsula

Foggia Station is the heart of rail mobility and bus connections to the Gargano Peninsula. All high-speed Frecciarossa and Italo trains, as well as Intercity and Regional services, stop here.

This will be your choice if you arrive on high-speed trains like Frecciarossa or Italo, which travel from all major routes in Northern, Central, and Southern Italy, including cities like Turin, Milan, Venice, Bologna, Rome, Naples, Bari, and more.

The Advantage: This is the hub with the highest number of connections and services (including Ferrovie del Gargano trains, COTRAP buses, and customer assistance). If your national train is delayed, you will find more alternatives here to continue your journey.

San Severo Station – The Gateway to Northern Gargano

San Severo Station is a strategic stop on the Adriatic line, where Intercity and Regional trains stop.

This will be your choice if you are arriving by Intercity train or Regional train from anywhere on the national railway network (Ferrovie dello Stato), whether coming from Northern, Central, or Southern Italy.

The Advantage: If your destination is in Northern Gargano (Apricena, San Nicandro Garganico, Cagnano Varano, Carpino, Ischitella, Vico del Gargano (San Menaio), Rodi Garganico, or Peschici (Calenella)), you will save about 40 minutes by avoiding Foggia and the need to backtrack North on the local rail lines.

Please Note: Frecciarossa and Italo high-speed trains do not stop in San Severo. If you are traveling on high-speed rail (AV), your mandatory arrival hub remains Foggia Station.

Ferrovie del Gargano – The Railway Operator for the Gargano Peninsula

To get around by train within the peninsula, the exclusive point of reference is the local company Ferrovie del Gargano and its railway division. It is important to note that the national Ferrovie dello Stato (Trenitalia) does not operate here: the management of tracks, stations, and connections is handled entirely by this historic local operator. The towns served by the Ferrovie del Gargano rail network are:

  • Apricena, Lucera, San Nicandro Garganico, Cagnano Varano, Carpino, Ischitella, Vico del Gargano (San Menaio), Rodi Garganico e Peschici (Calenella)

What does this mean for the traveler? Since these are two independent networks, there are no integrated tickets between Trenitalia (or Italo) and Ferrovie del Gargano. Therefore, your journey will consist of two distinct phases:

  • National Route: Purchase your ticket to the transfer stations of Foggia or San Severo through Trenitalia (Frecciarossa, Intercity, Regional) or Italo channels.
  • Local Route: Once you arrive at these stations, you will need to purchase a second ticket specifically for your final destination (e.g., Carpino, Rodi Garganico, or Peschici) directly on the official Ferrovie del Gargano website, through their App, or at authorized ticket offices in the station.

You can find schedules and purchase tickets on the official Ferrovie del Gargano website (under the “Search Schedules” – “Railway Services” section) or download the PDF schedules.

From Europe to Gargano: The Strategic Railway Hubs

If you are starting from Paris, Vienna, Berlin, London, or any other European city, there is no direct rail line to the Gargano: the secret is to break your journey into three levels.

First, take an Interrail, ÖBB Nightjet, TGV, ICE train, or a flight to one of the major Italian rail hubs (Milano Centrale, Bologna Centrale, Roma Termini, or Bari Centrale. From there, you enter the national Trenitalia network (covered by Interrail), which quickly brings you to Foggia or, in some cases via Intercity or Regional trains, to San Severo along the Adriatic coast. Only in the final leg do you connect to the local network and transition to the local dimension: Ferrovie del Gargano and Buses (COTRAP) will finally get you to Carpino, Vieste, Peschici, Rodi Garganico, or Vico del Gargano.

If you are traveling with Interrail, think of Foggia as your interchange point to the local network: the pass is valid on Trenitalia (Regional, Intercity, and Frecce trains, with mandatory reservations on high-speed lines). This means you can use it to build a route such as “Europe → Milan/Bologna/Rome → Foggia” using only national trains.

Once you arrive in Foggia (or San Severo if you are already traveling on Adriatic Intercity/Regional trains), your Interrail benefits end: Ferrovie del Gargano is not included in the pass. Therefore, your actual entry into the peninsula requires a local FDG ticket for trains or Bus (COTRAP).

This is where “local wisdom” comes into play: while global apps (Trainline, Omio, Google Maps) are perfect for the European skeleton of your trip, they often fail to show all the connections or integrated buses for the “last mile” toward Carpino, Vieste, or Rodi Garganico. They may return the classic “no connections available” message just when you are steps away from the sea or your destination in the hinterland.

For the final leg, the truth is almost always found on the official channels of Ferrovie del Gargano, the Puglia Region, or the COTRAP ticket office (schedules, alerts, and service charters). Use the major Italian hubs to cross half of Europe worry-free, but trust local carriers to find the right platform and schedule to truly enter the Gargano.

Traveling by Bus

To reach the Gargano by bus, the primary reference is the company Ferrovie del GarganoRoad Services division. This is the only company that truly takes you everywhere, from coastal towns like Vieste and Peschici to inland villages like Carpino. Their network covers both national and regional routes: if you depart from major Italian cities, the main advantage is travel continuity. Even when the route includes a stop or a vehicle change at a highway or rail hub, you remain under the management of the same company until you arrive.

The transport company MarinoBus has had a partnership with Ferrovie del Gargano since 2018, allowing you to purchase a single integrated ticket. You travel with MarinoBus to the transfer nodes or main hubs of Foggia or San Severo, where you will find guaranteed connections with Ferrovie del Gargano buses for the final leg of your journey.

If you choose operators such as FlixBus, Itabus, or BlaBlaCar Bus, you should be aware that their routes typically end at the Foggia or San Severo hubs.

In this case, the second part of the journey must be completed using the local buses of the COTRAP (Apulian Transport Companies Consortium) network.

You can consult: the Ferrovie del Gargano Public Transport schedules and SITA Sud Trasporti.

Puglia Airbus Seasonal Shuttle and Puglia Easy to Reach

As previously mentioned in the sections regarding bus travel from Foggia Airport and bus travel from Bari Airport, the airport shuttle services Puglia Airbus and Puglia Easy to Reach (formerly Gargano Easy to Reach) are seasonal connections. They operate from June to September, departing from Foggia Airport and Bari Airport, and provide a direct link to the Gargano without the need for complex transfers.

Traveling by Car

Reaching the Gargano by car is the ideal choice for those seeking maximum autonomy. However, it is essential to know the correct access points to avoid winding roads or unnecessarily long routes. The geography of the Gargano promontory rewards those who intelligently plan their highway exit, turning the drive from a simple transit into an integral part of the travel experience.

Recommended Routes and Highway Exits

The main artery is the A14 Autostrada Adriatica (Bologna-Taranto). Depending on where you are coming from, here are the key interchanges to keep in mind:

  • From the North (Milano, Bologna, Ancona): The main exit is Poggio Imperiale – Lesina. This exit leads directly to the Superstrada del Gargano (SS693), a high-speed artery that allows you to enter the promontory quickly. It is a convenient, straight, and flat road that runs alongside Lago Lesina and Lago Varano, bypassing residential areas.
  • From the Central-West (Rome): The optimal route involves taking the Autostrada A24/A25 toward Pescara, then merging onto the A14 heading South, and exiting at Poggio Imperiale.
  • From the South and the Tyrrhenian Coast (Bari, Naples): If you are heading to the southern Gargano (Manfredonia, Mattinata), the ideal exit is Foggia. However, if your destination is Carpino, Rodi Garganico, Peschici, or the lake district, it is better to continue on the A14 until the San Severo or Poggio Imperiale exits.

Pro Tips for a Stress-Free Road Trip

  • Speed vs. Scenery: For a fast and comfortable journey, the SS693 is preferable due to its less winding route. However, if you are looking for a scenic drive, the coastal SS89 offers spectacular views of Rodi Garganico and the Tremiti Islands, but at a much slower driving pace.
  • Watch the curves: The inland road connecting Mattinata to Vieste (SP53/SS89) is among the most beautiful in Italy, but it is not recommended for those sensitive to hairpin turns. For a “smoother” approach, entering from the North via Poggio Imperiale is always preferable.
  • Smart Departures: During the summer season, we recommend passing through the highway interchanges early in the morning to avoid congestion. Using apps like Google Maps or Waze is extremely helpful for monitoring traffic in real time.
  • Check real-time traffic and road alerts on the official Autostrade per l’Italia website.

GPS and Vehicle Size: A Critical Warning

A critical warning for every driver: the Gargano is a land of medieval villages and architecture built centuries before the invention of the automobile. It is essential not to rely blindly on GPS navigation (Google Maps, Waze, TomTom, etc.) when approaching historic town centers.

Algorithms often fail to distinguish between a drivable road and a narrow alley designed only for pedestrians. Many inland streets are extremely tight and feature turning angles that are impossible for oversized vehicles like large SUVs, Hummers, or Campers (RVs). Physical road signs indicating width and height limits are your only foolproof guide: if an alley looks too narrow, your intuition is more reliable than the GPS.


Carpino: The Ideal Base for Exploring the Gargano

Thanks to its strategic geographic location and proximity to major road and rail networks, staying in Carpino allows you to easily reach Lake Lesina, Lake Varano, the stunning Gargano beaches, and Blue Flag-awarded locations, as well as ferry terminals for the Tremiti Islands. Its central position on the main transit routes makes it the perfect hub for exploring the Foresta Umbra (a UNESCO World Heritage site) and the spiritual landmarks of Monte Sant’Angelo and San Giovanni Rotondo.

Our Vacation Rentals in Carpino are the ideal solution for those who want to experience the region like a local, far from the crowds of packed seaside resorts. Our spaces are designed to meet the needs of travelers seeking an authentic territory and “slow tourism”—discovering world-class food and wine, such as our premium EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil), and engaging in genuine experiences like olive harvesting or trekking.

The interiors have been made welcoming and functional to meet even the most modern needs of those who, like remote workers, require a space that blends a home-like feel with professional requirements. This solution is designed for digital nomads and those choosing the workation formula—finding the tranquility needed to focus while benefiting from a central location to discover every corner of the promontory as soon as the workday ends.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Getting to Gargano

  • What is the closest airport to Gargano?

    The closest airport to Gargano is Foggia “Gino Lisa” Airport (FOG), about 70 km from the promontory, served by Aeroitalia with flights from Turin, Milan Linate, and Bergamo. The alternative is Bari – Palese Airport (BRI), about 160 km away, which offers many more domestic and international routes (London, Paris, Istanbul, and New York in summer).

  • Does the train go directly to Vieste, Peschici, or Carpino?

    No, Vieste, Mattinata, Manfredonia, Monte Sant’Angelo, and San Giovanni Rotondo have no train station: they can only be reached by bus or car. Peschici, on the other hand, is served by the Calenella station of the Ferrovie del Gargano regional railway. Other towns with a station include Apricena, Lucera, San Nicandro Garganico, Cagnano Varano, Carpino, Ischitella, Vico del Gargano (San Menaio), and Rodi Garganico.

  • Is it better to get off at Foggia or San Severo train station for Gargano?

    It depends on the train and your final destination. Frecciarossa and Italo high-speed trains only stop in Foggia, which remains the sole high-speed rail hub and offers more connections with Ferrovie del Gargano trains and COTRAP buses. San Severo is served only by Intercity and Regional trains, but if you’re heading to Northern Gargano (Carpino, Ischitella, Rodi Garganico, Peschici), it can save you about 40 minutes by avoiding a detour through Foggia and back.

  • Is there a single combined ticket for Trenitalia and Ferrovie del Gargano?

    No, these are two independent networks and tickets are not integrated. You’ll need a Trenitalia or Italo ticket to Foggia or San Severo, plus a separate second ticket purchased on the Ferrovie del Gargano website or app (or at station ticket counters) for the final leg to your destination.

  • Can I reach Gargano with an Interrail pass?

    Interrail covers the national Trenitalia route to Foggia, with mandatory seat reservations on high-speed trains. Ferrovie del Gargano is not included in the pass: once in Foggia, you’ll need a separate local ticket to continue by train or bus toward Carpino, Vieste, Peschici, or Rodi Garganico.

  • Are there direct buses to Gargano from Rome, Naples, or Milan?

    It depends on the carrier. FlixBus, during peak season, runs direct routes from various Italian cities to Manfredonia, San Giovanni Rotondo, Cagnano Varano, Rodi Garganico, Peschici, Vieste, and Lesina. Itabus stops year-round in Foggia and San Severo, with additional seasonal summer routes (worth checking each year) to Peschici, Rodi Garganico, and Vieste from Naples. BlaBlaCar Bus covers Vieste and Rodi Garganico. MarinoBus has a partnership with Ferrovie del Gargano that allows for a single combined ticket all the way to your final destination on the promontory.

  • Which highway exit should I take to reach Gargano by car?

    Coming from the North (Milan, Bologna, Ancona), take the Poggio Imperiale – Lesina exit on the A14, which connects to the Gargano expressway (SS693). From Rome, take the A24/A25 toward Pescara and then the A14 south to Poggio Imperiale. From Bari and Naples, the Foggia exit is ideal for Southern Gargano (Manfredonia, Mattinata), while for Carpino, Rodi Garganico, and Peschici it’s better to continue on to San Severo or Poggio Imperiale.

  • Why don’t GPS navigation apps always give correct directions in Gargano’s villages?

    The historic centers of Gargano have narrow medieval alleyways that satellite navigation apps (Google Maps, Waze, TomTom, and others) sometimes fail to distinguish from roads suitable for cars. If you’re driving an SUV, camper, or large van, it’s best to trust the posted width and height signage rather than the route suggested by your GPS.

  • Are there airport shuttles to Gargano in the summer?

    Yes, from June to September seasonal shuttle services Puglia Airbus and Puglia Easy to Reach (formerly Gargano Easy to Reach) run from the terminals of Foggia and Bari airports to the main tourist destinations in Gargano, with no complicated transfers.

  • Is it better to rent a car in Foggia or Bari to visit Gargano?

    Foggia is closer (about 70 km from Gargano) and pick-up procedures are faster thanks to the airport’s smaller size. Bari is about 160 km away but has more car rental companies available due to higher traffic. Either way, it’s worth booking online in advance, especially during peak season.

  • Why choose the town of Carpino as a base for visiting Gargano?

    The town of Carpino has its own Ferrovie del Gargano train station and sits close to the main road connections, making it a convenient base for reaching Lake Lesina and Lake Varano, Blue Flag beaches, the Foresta Umbra forest, and the spiritual sites of Monte Sant’Angelo and San Giovanni Rotondo — all while staying away from the crowds of the busier seaside towns.

  • Does Ryanair fly to Foggia or to Bari airport?

    Ryanair does not operate out of Foggia “Gino Lisa” Airport, which is currently served only by Aeroitalia (flights from Turin, Milan Linate, and Bergamo) and small Alidaunia connections to Peschici, Vieste, and the Tremiti Islands. Ryanair instead flies to Bari – Palese, about 160 km from Gargano, with many more domestic and international routes.

  • Is Italo or Frecciarossa faster for reaching Puglia?

    They’re comparable: both operators connect to Foggia via high-speed rail from cities like Turin, Milan, Bologna, and Rome, with similar travel times. There’s no fixed winner — it’s worth comparing schedules and fares on both official websites for your specific travel date, since the faster train varies depending on the route and time of day.

  • How long is the flight to reach Gargano?

    A direct Aeroitalia flight to Foggia Airport takes on average about 1 hour 20 to 40 minutes from Turin, Milan Linate, or Bergamo. At Bari Airport, which has far more connections, flight times range from about 1 hour (from Central Italy) to over 2 hours from major European capitals, depending on your city of departure.

  • What are the train stops on the Ferrovie del Gargano line?

    The coastal San Severo–Peschici line operated by Ferrovie del Gargano connects, in order, San Severo, Apricena, San Nicandro Garganico, Cagnano Varano, Carpino, Ischitella, Rodi Garganico, Vico del Gargano–San Menaio, and the Peschici Calenella terminus, with Foggia serving as the hub connecting to the national Trenitalia and Italo network. Vieste is not served by train: it can be reached by bus from the Foggia or San Severo stations, or from the Peschici Calenella terminus.
