Cities to Visit

We are a family of five with teenagers ranging from 14-18. We are coming at the end of March/early April. We are looking at having about seven days of full days with two additional travel days. After polling the family our must sees are Rome and Pompeii. The coastal area (such as Amalfi Coast) is highly desired too. I am not opposed to renting a car when needed and not sure how that would all work for Pompeii and the coast. Fine with train travel too.

We are looking at where to fly into and out of. We are also open to another city such as Florence, Venice, etc. but not sure where to prioritize. We like history and want to see some ancient sites and ruins. Not so much into art or museums unless really cool.

Any guidance would be great. Thanks in advance!

If you have 8 nights you will need 4 nights for Rome. You should leave those as the last nights if you plan to fly out of Rome.
If you want to devote the other 4 nights to the Naples' area, I suggest you stay in Sorrento. It's a great base to visit Pompeii, the Amalfi Coast, Capri.
With that length of time, you don't have time for Florence and Venice, unless you skip the Naples area altogether.
You could do those 4 nights in Florence, instead of Sorrento, but not both.

No car needed for those locations.
