Help for trains in Italy - Pompei to lecce
Going from Pompei to Lecce on June 15th. Would like to take a night sleeper train if possible. Need tickets for two sleeper cars with 4-5 people each. Trenitalia site is very confusing. I heard about a site a while back where you could request tickets from U.S. and someone would purchase for you and mail them.
Please help. thank you.

#1 - You need to look for trains from Napoli Centrale (NA C.LE) not from Pompeii
#2 - There isn't a direct train, you must change (usually at Caserta but there are other options)
#3 - It is usually about 5 hour train ride. Going overnight means you leave Naples at 10:30 pm, arrive in Caserta at 11:30 pm and then wait in Caserta for a train that stops there at 2:45 am, arriving in Lecce at 8:22
#4 - As an alternative, you could leave Naples at 4:15 pm, arrive in Caserta 5:00 pm, then change to the EuroStar that departs Caserta at 5:20 pm and arrives in Lecce at 9:50 pm -which will put you in Lecce just in time for dinner.
