Ground transportation platform Bookaway has added more than 1,200 travel routes across Italy as it sees a 310% increase in demand, in line with the removal of the five-day mandatory quarantine for UK tourists.
As British travellers who are fully vaccinated against Covid-19 are now no longer required to quarantine on arrival in Italy, Bookaway has reported the country is among its top three destinations in Europe for bookings and routes available. The company has seen a dramatic increase in demand for tickets around Italy in the past month, with searches for routes more than tripling.
Getting across the country can seem a daunting task without a car, however, Bookaway connects travellers to local ferry and bus operators, to pre-book travel with ease. Travellers can sit back, relax, and enjoy Italy’s vast views and hidden gems. With 2,869 transport routes available across Italy, customers have even more options for when and how to travel.

Bookaway provides the best, most picturesque and sought-after routes in Italy – previously only available to book ‘in-person’ or known by locals. Some of Bookaway’s top new routes, available to reserve, include:
Sorrento to Capri
Capri is famous for its Blue Grotto, a dark cave where the sea gets almost an unnatural glow. With an unlimited supply of limoncello, many consider this island the perfect Italian getaway.

The best way to get to this Italian island is via ferry from Sorrento to Capri. With the duration of only 30 minutes, A/C on board and stunning views in the background, it is no wonder this route gets 5/5 starts reviews from travellers.

Sorrento to Positano

Travellers from around to world come to this place to admire its vertical landscape, cobbled streets and celebrity-loved beaches.
Tourists are able to travel to the town via ferry from Sorrento in just an hour with a high-speed service. Four operators run a service to Positano, with one departure daily. Advanced booking is advised.
