My finance and I are planning a honeymoon in Italy. We've booked our flights and will be there for 2.5 weeks from Sept 29 to Oct 13. We've both been to Italy before (Rome, Florence, Venice) and are hoping to go back to some highlights and add some new places as well. We're in our mid-30's so don't mind moving every 3 days or so, as it seems most of the stops will be 3 hrs or so away.
Here's generally what we're thinking so far:
Arrive, Rome, travel to Florence by train and stay 2 nights
Cinque Terra - 3 nights
Pick up rental car in Pisa and travel around Tuscany - 3 night and Umbria - 3 nights
Drop car off in Orvietto and train to Amalfi Coast for 3 nights
Rome - 3 nights
I thought is best to head north early in the trip to catch the better weather, and leave Rome to the end. We're starting with Florence since we've both been there, so will ease into it and shake off the jet lag while walking the streets, enjoying the food and gelati.
Any thoughts/suggestions or ideas on the itinerary?
