We are planning a trip to Poland with Abercrombie and Kent next May. We will start the tour in Warsaw and end it in Krakow. We live in San Antonio, Texas. We are hoping to spend some time in Italy or France before the tour and I am trying to figure out if anyone has a suggestion as to the best way to get from Italy or France to Warsaw. At the moment we are flexible on location. My first thought was to visit the Puglia area in Italy as we have not been there yet. However, it seems like that might be a bit of a challenge. We plan to fly out of SAT on May 11 and don't start our tour until May 26. We typically fly into the country and rent a car and tour around on our own. Another thought was either Northern Italy (Lake Region) or Cinque Terre (we have been but would go again and stay in a different area) or the South of France around Nice. I am trying to figure out the easiest and fastest wa to get from wherever we go to Warsaw.
It looks like from Milan might be the easiest airport to find a non-stop flight to Poland. Thank you for your help.
