Tell me if this is possible. I am planning a trip to Italy this summer is this possible to do all of this in 11 days. Fly into Florence, stay in Florence, leave florence visit Greve on to Sienna. Leave Sienna to Rome, leave rome to sorrento visit area and capri and then travel down to Bari to visit family. After Bari, travel back to florence for flight back to US. Is this possible in 12 days? I dont drink wine but I thought it would be neat to see and visit a Chianti town, would it be worth it for non wine drinkers? How many days would be necessary in each place? I am taking my niece who has never been to Europe so I know she would like to see as much as possible. Especially, the city and markets of Florence, in Rome the Collessium, Vatican, etc.. In Sorrento I would just like to visit the area and see Capri.
I lived in Florence and have traveled to Italy many times, when I stayed for 1 week I would only be there visiting my family. Trips that we decided to travel alot we stayed 3-4 weeks. Im just wondering if 12 days is enough time to see all of these things?
Thank you!

Nevermind, I think I figured that it wouldnt be long enough!

Good choice. With 11 days, I would not plan on more than 3 stops. If the 11 days includes travel days to and from the US, I would plan on only 2 destinations. Florence and Bari or Rome and Bari.

With 11 days I would do 2 places - with perhaps a day trip from each if you want. Otherwise you be spending way more time in transit than actually seeing or doing anything.

I changed the trip to 15 days. Arrive in Florence, we are going to stay in a villa in Torri to see a little of the country and take the train into the city. We will be in Florence 3 days, Rome 3 days, amalfi 4 days and Bari 3 days. Yea we will have a car. I know we will not be able to see everything in each city but I'm picking the things most important to us and then plan to enjoy time together and Italy! I have been to Italy 8 times, lived in Florence and have been to Rome so we are comfortable driving and traveling. I know thatnflorence is an easy city to maneuver, Rome....much more ground to cover!

If you are committed to driving, I suggest you rearrange your trip so that you go from Tuscany to Sorrento, then to Bari, and save Rome for last. Get rid of the car in Bari and take the train back to Rome, then to Florence for your flight back if you can't get air tickets to fly out of Rome.

We will be ending our trip in Bari and driving overnight to Florence for our trip back. I don't want to end in Rome. I'd rather get te big busy cities first.
