Agropoli travel FAQ
Everything Canadian travellers ask before booking
Do Canadians need a visa for Italy?
No. Canadians can visit Italy and the wider Schengen Area visa-free for tourist stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period. Check the status of the EU's ETIAS authorisation before your travel dates.
Which airport do I fly into for Agropoli?
Naples International (NAP) is the gateway. Agropoli is about 1h15–1h30 south by car, or a direct train on the Cilento line to Agropoli–Castellabate station.
How long is the flight from Canada?
Toronto to Naples is roughly 9 hours nonstop on seasonal service, or 11–13 hours with one connection via a European hub year-round.
When is the best time to visit Agropoli?
May–June and September–October offer warm weather, a warm sea, and lighter crowds. July and August are hottest and busiest.

The town centre is walkable. For the wider Cilento coast, Paestum, and Palinuro, a rental car is easiest, though regional trains and buses connect the main towns.
