Hello everybody .
I will go to Napoli next weekend . I am going back to Thessaloniki with Ryanair flight at 11 in the morning . There is a train early in the morning from Napoli to Roma (except of the expensive one with trenitalia) so i can catch my flight easily or i have to go on Sunday night in Roma and stay there ???

Hej,
to which airport you need to go?
There are AV trains with 10€ reservation but there should also be some night trains which you can use without a reservation...I can give more details if I know more about your airport. ;)

OK...you do not have other choices than Trenitalia as there is no other company on your route (and if there were, you could not use it with InterRail). So, Trenitalia it is. ;)
There are two IC services which do not need a reservation (but it is recommended to get one for 3€ if you want a guaranteed seat):
Napoli Cle 0555 - 0806 Roma Termini
Napoli Cle 0717 - 0921 Roma Termini
From Roma Termini you have frequent connections by suburban lines fr4 and fr6 to Ciampino from where it is about 4km to the airport (it is across the railway but the terminal building is on the other side so you have to walk around the airport first) - of course there are shuttle buses running from the station to the airport.
I'd recommend to get the first train, then you could be at Ciampino station at 0840 (dep Roma Termini 0826) and can easily get to the check-in in time. :)

Roma - Napoli is max 28€ one way in IC train - you can get these tickets right at the station.
Roma - Airport is a few € max... :)

these treni are often very heavily delayed-that is the custom in Italia. So take the first one. CHECK if this is maybe an overnighter from Sicila-the the delays will be even more. Check simply RYAnair-they do ((cost a little more ) direct buses Termini-Ciampino aeropuerto. In the ciampino stazione (=opposite side of runways-so you need to go by bus all around the get to terminal) the buses are very badly posted and ofte do not turn up.
When you enter the stazione in Napoli CHECK first the ''ritardi=delays. IF your IC train is not yet shown-spend the extra Euro and get a ticket for the superfast altavelocita-just 80 mins to Roma. You loose far more if you miss that Ryan flight/ It is very easy to get tickets from the machines-all take cards-most also cash-and have menu also in englsih and french and german.
also note that in Napoli NO bus/tram etc runs before about 6.30-or after 22.30-so choose a place near to stazione=very seedy area though

Well, as I wrote these are IC trains (no night trains) and the punctuality figures arent that bad (especially on the high speed services but IC services were quite ok as well the last time I was there)!

if your IC train to Roma have delay and you can not wait for next IC train and moreover in the meantime there is some hi speed train you can try to go to the office on the station and explain situation. then they may be will allow you take hi speed train without any surcharge.
I had similar problem with delay but i had normal full-price ticket. they just put some stamp and signs on the ticket and i could take faster train.
and if they do not allow you travel in more expensive/faster train without any special surcharge, at least may be allow you travel with standard surcharge for this train(better than nothing in this situation).
better stay in some safe, clean hotel near the station or go one day before and stay in Rome.
