I know there's one from Salerno Italy to Limassol

Hi Bill can you tell me who runs the Salerno Italy to Limassol ferry??

Hi Steve

The ferry actually runs from Southampton to Limassol ( and places further beyond ) but calls into Salerno on the way and is operated by grimaldi .

This is ideal if you want to drive through Europe as part of your journey -- if not stick the car on the ferry at Southampton.

I've been told that although it's really a freighter the meals and accommodation are very good but I must admit I haven't tried it.

I was looking at using the service from Limassol to Salerno as I have a very close friend in a province of Salerno and would like to visit him and see a bit of Italy at the same time using my own car and of course enjoy the stop over places on the way.

I usually fly there -- his wife lends me her car - but then I'm pretty well obliged to stay with them for the whole holiday -- ferrying my own car over will give me more freedom and put me under less obligation to my friends and at last I may get to see a lot more of Italy -- well that's the idea anyway

It's not exactly cheap but I've been assured it's good value for the money.
