Hi everyone,
Any help is greatly appreciated!
My family of four (kids 14 & 17) plan on an Italy trip from June 17 till July 2 so we will have 14 nights to work with.
My husband and I have visited Florence, Rome and Cinque Terre before and loved them all. This time around, I want to visit Venice and the Amalfi coast, in addition to Florence and Rome. Because of difficulty with flights in the past, I really want to get a direct flight out of Dallas to Rome, so we won’t have connections or potential for delays on the first half of the trip. Ideally, it would be wonderful to fly into Naples and out of Venice, but those flights are complicated and pricey. So we will likely fly into Rome and out of Venice although we’d have to do some backtracking which is annoying.
This is what I am initially thinking. Please let me know if you think this is doable or if an adjustment could be made.
6/17 leave TX
6/18 Arrive in Rome at 8:00 AM
6/18-6/22 Rome (3 1/2 days for touring, 4 nights) chose to do Rome first so we won't have to worry about timing of trains
6/22 -6/25 Naples, pompeii, Amalfi coast (2 1/2 days for touring, 3 nights)
6/25 - 6/29 Florence (3 1/2 days for touring, 4 nights).....possible day excursion in this timeframe to siena or san g
6/29 - 7/1 Venice (2 1/2 days for touring, 3 nights)
7/2 fly out of Venice
my math right? should be 14 nights
I realize this may be a lot of movement, but I want to pack it all in because I don't foresee a 3rd italy trip in our future. There is a lot of world still to see!
Thank you for any suggestions and helping me out!
