Expansion of airport

[claire tudge]

Does anyone know anything about the proposed expansion of Crotone airport I didnt even know there was an airport there or how accessable it is to Scalea

I have recently purchased a property on the east coast of Calabria and whilst doing some research over there a couple of months ago I heard from a local councillor that this was the case. I have also heard that low budget airline easyjet are due to be flying there. In regards to travel between Crotone and Scalea I have know idea. I hope this helps. Regards John

Hi Claire
Just out of curiousity I looked on the RAC Route Finder and it appears to be 123 miles from Scalea and an average journey time of 2hr 45 if lucky with the traffic or 3hr 5 min if bad traffic so it is another alternative for people who drive down to Scalea

Cheers Maisy

Thanks for the replies, still looking at budget alternatives, my husband hates flying from London, if it was possible to travel by train from Crotone to Scalea this would possibly be cheaper than east mids to naples which is going to cost about £367 for two people return, next year, will keep doing my homework its all good fun

There are trains from crotone to scalea unfortunately with changes on route, but it takes about four hours, costs are 19euros for a single, will have to see what prices the budget flights are in comparison with east mids to rome which is our current favourite, i think this airport is planning flights to USA if they dont already.
