Hi I will be in Italy 9/7-9/22 flying in & out of Rome. I would like to see the three areas mentioned. Any suggestions about how to split it up? It was suggested I fly Rome Sicily one way, which I will do. I'm not sure how many days I will need for each area. Thanks
Most people reporting in here seem to give Rome 4 or 5 nights, for a first time visit. The time you spend in "the Amalfi" and "Sicily" depend entirely on what locations you want to see within those large areas, your travel budget, etc--things we don't know about your trip.
If you're planning this trip yourself, you'll want to become familiar with maps and travel times, and the link below will explain how to do that
In the trip I just came back from, I spent 7 days in Rome, 3 days on day-trips (Naples, Pompeii, Paestum, etc.) and 3 days on Sorrento/Amalfi coast. I too thought about going to Sicily but I ended up not.
