7 Day E-Bike Cycling Experience, Cultural and Culinary Vacation in Abruzzo, Vasto

Arrival by airplane

Please book your flight to arrive at Leonardo da Vinci International Airport (FCO). The transfers are included in the price. Italia Sweet Italia will pick you up from the airport.

For all the small group tours, the pick up at Rome Fiumicino airport is planned at 2:30 pm on day 1. Normally it takes 3-3,5 hours to drive to Vasto, your base on the Adriatic Coast.

The duration of the trip depends on traffic (on Sunday, when most of the tours start, usually there is no traffic) and if you need to stop at the motor service along the way for a snack or to go to the toilet. It is a beautiful and relaxing driving crossing three National parks, from where you can see many hilltop villages and the Apennines.

A few weeks before the tour starts, the team will send you a pdf with the exact pick-up location and times. Please consider also this information:

If you want you can be picked up at a hotel in Rome, this service has an extra cost of 50 EUR that you can pay at your arrival. The staff will come earlier to pick you up at your accommodation (it depends on the exact location, but it is usually 1 hour before the pick-up at Rome F. Airport). Sometimes it could be also after the airport pick-up.

When the team will have all flights and arrival information from all the travelers, if everybody that is joining the tour is supposed to arrive before 2:30 pm, the team could anticipate the pick-up time.

You can also reach Vasto or other destinations in Italy by bus or train. Italia Sweet Italia will organize the taxi transfer from/to Vasto train station (10 minutes driving) or Vasto coach station to/from the hotel in Vasto (3 minutes driving).

For the drop-off to Rome, guests usually leave the hotel in Vasto after breakfast, at around 09:00 a.m. so that they arrive at Rome Fiumicino airport at maximum 01:30 p.m. (if there is traffic, but it normally takes 3-3,5 hours).

If anybody in the group has an earlier flight, you could leave 1-2 hours before (so at 07:00-08:00) but the team makes evaluations from time to time.

If there is any specific need, there are also public buses that shuttle from Vasto to Rome Fiumicino (or the city center) earlier in the morning and by night. In this case, Italia Sweet Italia can organize the taxi transfer from the hotel to Vasto coach station (3 minutes driving).
