The Journey


We are very happy to welcome you to celebrate with us our wedding. We plan to celebrate it in Calabria, the region that gives home to the hometown of Vincenzo. Although it's an exciting and beautiful travel to the South of Italy, we also understand it's a first time for many, and we are happy to support you during your Journey (read as: your trip to Calabria).

It's important to know that regardless of the aiport of arrival, you will need to have a car to reach and navigate in the South. We've created an interactive map to help you choose the best airport for your arrival based on your departure city. It also includes recommendations for accommodations and dining spots along the way. Simply hover over the map to explore various focal points. Each point links directly to Google Flights or curated Google Maps lists featuring our top picks, which you can easily save to your account for seamless planning. Below the map you can find some tips to help you prepare your planning (we recommend to use the map on desktop for better readability).

Good to know...

  • 📅 Travel Dates: If you're planning to attend just the wedding, we recommend arriving at least one night before and staying one night after July 20. This gives you time to relax before the big day and allows you to enjoy the celebration until the very end.
  • 🚗 Car rental: Moving around in Southern Italy? Renting a car is essential. We recommend to check out several well-known car rentals that are accessible at your airport of arrival (e.g. Avis, Europcar, Budget, Enterprise, Locauto). When booking think of the following:
    • • Book in Advance: High demand in tourist seasons can limit availability.
    • • Insurance: Consider full insurance coverage for peace of mind on narrow, winding roads.
    • • Small Cars: Opt for smaller vehicles; they're easier to navigate through historic towns and narrow streets.
    • • Check Reviews: Use platforms like Google Reviews or Rentalcars.com for insights on service quality.
  • 👗 Packing essentials: We recommend you to be well prepared for your trip as it's going to be warm in summer and the trip involves lot's of hours travelling by car. We have prepared a simple travel packing check-list to ensure you don't forget any essentials. Download it here.
  • 💡 Valuable tip: TripIt is a cool travel organization app to use (on Android and iOS) designed to make trip planning and itinerary management easier. It allows you to consolidate your travel plans in one place by automatically importing booking confirmations for flights, hotels, car rentals, and activities from email or manually entering them.
