Warnings for large vehicles

  • SS163 (Amalfi Coast road): very narrow, odd/even plate rules and limits on long vehicles in high season. Leave the RV in Sorrento or Salerno and take the bus or the boat.
  • Limited traffic zones (ZTL) in the centers of Naples, Lecce and Matera: fines are mailed, even abroad.

These routes were written from memory: double-check distances, seasons, rules and closures with official sources before you go.
