Hi I am delivering a load to just outside of Naples, would you be so kind as to tell me the best and cheapest route, do I need to be wary of being hijacked as I have heard rumours but tend to take them with a pinch. I intended to use frajus. Any help would be greatly appreciatedAs far as I remember, the best and cheapest route is the obvious one, when looking at a map.
Calais, Reims, Dijon, Lyon, Chambery, Frejus, Turin, Modena, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples.
(In Italy, look for the Italian names on the road signs - Torino, Firenza, Roma, Napoli or you’ll get lost. Use an Italian Stradali (road map)).
Toll roads all the way basically, but they are also good, clear and fast.
Don’t speed in Italy, they’ll fine you on the spot and are apparently quite keen these days, the limit is 80.
From Calais, Macon is an easy 9 hours. The Pub at Bourg en Bresse is getting close to 10.
B & C for the BP at Macon and The Pub at Bourge
Either of those to the TIR Parking at Campogalliano or the big service area just before Bologna is a reasonable days work.They are both slightly off the direct route to Naples, but the extra distance isn’t worth bothering about.
A & B for Macon and the Pub, C & D for Campogalliano and Bologna
From either of these its an easy days drive to Naples.
All the roads and cities are still in much the same places. Where the roads have been moved, just stay between the white lines, you should be OK
