Hi - We are planning a trip to Italy next September (2016) and are looking for a little guidance. We spent 10 days in Rome with some side trips to Naples/Pompeii, Florence, and Tuscany, and this time we are hoping to spend half of our time (total of 10 night trip) in Venice and the surrounding lagoon areas and then some time in Sicily. A few questions for those who have some experience:
1) How long is too long for Venice and some side trips to the surrounding lagoon areas?
2) What is the best way from Venice to Sicily?
3) Where in Sicily should we go?
4) Do we need a car in Sicily?
