Hi, we are a couple in mid 30s travelling to Italy for the first time. We will be reaching Milan airport on 27th night and are planning to take a train early next morning to Venice. We will reach Venice around 11 am
We are planning to leave Italy on 10th April from by a ferry from Ancona to Split
Our main interests are nature, scenic spots and culture of the place. Art, architecture and history are fine, but they will take second place, we will still do them if they are the highlight of the place and seeing them will summarize the whole culture of the place
Considering this, pls suggest if the below split up works fine, I will.then research more to come up with a day by day itinerary. And finally, we don't want to rush through the places, we want to savour the essence of the places we visit even if it means cutting down a few other locations. If this itinerary looks rushed, pls suggest which place can be removed.
Mar 28, 29 and 30 - Venice
Mar 31st, apr 1st and 2nd - Travel to Florence, sight seeing in Florence and visit cinque terre
Apr 3rd,4th, 5th and 6th - Travel to Rome and sight seeing in Rome (should we cut one day here and add it to amalfi coast or to florence?)
April 7th to 9th - Travel and stay at Sorrento or Posetano and explore amalfi coast
April 10th - need to reach Ancona to take the ferry at 9 pm. Or is it easier to go to bari and take a ferry to Dubrovnik instead? Is it possible to visit Pompeii in the morning, spend half a day and then make the travel to Bari? We are OK to skip it if it's going to be difficult, rather we can spend half a day more in the coast itself.
