• You may fly in to either Florence, Rome, or Bologna. You will then take the train to Arezzo.

• • From the Florence Airport (Peretola), you will need to take a bus/cab to the main train station, Santa Maria Novella, then the train to Arezzo.

• • From Rome (Fiumicino), you will take the train to Roma Termini, then to Arezzo.

• • From Bologna (Guglielmo Marconi), you will take the bus/taxi to Bolgona Centrale and from there to Arezzo.

• • Try to avoid local trains which stop at every station and therefore take much longer. Look for high-speed, intercity, or frecciarosa trains.

• We are scheduling a bus to take us from Arezzo to Camalodoli on Sunday, July 21. The bus will leave the train station at 3:30pm.

• • Meet at the Arezzo train station, at the bar/café, to be ready to leave by 3:30.

• If you are unable to make this bus, you can take the train from Arezzo to Bibbiena.

• • From Bibbiena, you can take a taxi to Camaldoli (~20-30 euros).

• You may also take a taxi directly from Arezzo to Camaldoli, but this will be more expensive.
