Before we booked this years hols to Madeira was considering visiting the Genoa area of Italy. I can't believe the cost of air fares to this area. Even tried finding a flight to France and driving across the border. There has to be a way to do this. Any suggestions welcome.

Hi,
 
Its a long time since I last visited Liguria but as I recall I had to fly british Air-ways at that time it was the only option I think it still is the only option for direct flight from Glasgow.
 
One option I was considering was Ryan Air to Pisa then train to Genova but I would only consider this if I was staying out there for at least 2 weeks not viable for a weekend break as you loose a day travelling each way as I'm in Scotland. However as fuel prices continue to rise flights will only get more expensive.
 
So I'm off to Puglia in 5 weeks this should be an adventure.

Thanks for the observations Jacqueline. British Airways does still seem to be the only option. Should have mentioned we live in North Wales and I really don't want to drive all the way to Stanstead or any of the other London airports so have been looking for a Manchester, Liverpool or Birmingham flight.
We visited Puglia about 5 years ago, stayed at a farm just outside Bari, saw the Trulli houses at Alberobello and the caves at Castellana. Also drove to the opposite coast and visited the castle and some churches in Taranto.

Since there is an excellent train service between Nice (in France) and Genoa then it seems this is a better option. You can get Flights from both Manchester and Liverpool (Easyjet) to Nice so am looking into using this route.
Maybe there is a resort on this bit of coastline that would be a bit quieter than Genoa and we could pop on a train into Genoa
