Hello,
My daughter and I are planning a trip and arrive in Florence June 15th. We need to be in Geneva on June 24th and would like to spend the week before visiting Florence, Sardinia and Cinque Terre. Looking for ideas and recommendations on how to put this together, or even if it makes sense to try and fit it all in, and/or other suggestions.
Thank you so much!
Kim
Hello dkirving,
Three destinations in a week would be super challenging, but given that one is an island and CT is a bit of a logistical challenge makes these three in a week too much to try.
Depending on your transportation to Geneva you might be able to do Florence and CT but I might suggest something like the Italian lakes - which are already on the way to Switzerland - instead to maximize you time on the ground versus travelling between places.
There are flights to Sardinia from Florence so you could conceivably do (FLR) to (CAG) in the south or (FLR) to Olbia (OLB) in the north but I would take a careful look at what you want to see in Sardinia and what time that would take.
I would put down the number of actual nights you have and figure out how you're getting to Geneva to determine how many days you actually have and then work a schedule into that timeline including the travel between each place.
Sounds like a fun problem to have,

Search flights: If you can fly to one of the Sardinia airports (three to choose from), and then fly to Geneva, you could do a limited, targeted trip to the island, but I’d forget about Cinque Terre in that case. I’m spending ten days in Sardinia in May, and I’m having trouble narrowing down what to see in only a tiny corner of the island.
Decide what you want to see in Florence first, as that will determine how much time you have to work with.
Easyjet has a flight from Olbia to Geneva on June 22 and 23, and one from Cagliari on the 23rd. Take a pass on the CT.
Yes, the CT has to go.
Thanks so much for the advice and suggestions, truly appreciated!
I can’t even phantom visiting Sardinia for less than a week and Florence for less than 3 nights. Flights from Florence to Sardinia may not even be available in June. Flights from Florence to Sardinia are seasonal (summer only), and generally start at the very end of June. Same holds true for flights from Sardinia to Geneva.
