Greece Lefkada pre-trip ideas

We’re taking a catamaran trip for 7 days in early August. We’re trying to decide what to do a week before. Thinking about flying into Rome, driving or taking a train to Florence and then going to Bari to take the ferry to a coastal city in Albania near the border to Greece. Any other ideas? What else should we consider?

We don’t want to go to Athens when it’s so hot and crowded. We’re attracted to great food and wine- thus considering Italy for the first part of the trip.

Have you scoped out if you can actually do all of that in one week? I can see breaking up a trip to Greece with a stop in Italy, it is just that the proposal here makes me tired. No problem if you like moving that fast, but you’ll have to reassure us!
Have you been to Italy before?
If you want to just get to Greece, you could spend the week in Nafplio before the cruise.
