Is this itinerary too much beach? Add Munich?
17 night trip- 2 adults mid 20's who usually travel to Europe 2-3 times a year (girlfriend has family in Greece).
We are flying out of NYC and landing in Munich in mid June. We will be arriving on a Friday morning at 8am. I booked this flight because I know Munich is a big airport and it was a really cheap multi city. We have a wedding in Positano and we decided to make a trip out of it. I haven't seen much of Germany yet and I am anxious, however it will be June and the Mediterranean sounds more appealing (at least to my girlfriend). We have 5 nights before we meet the wedding party in Rome. The plan is 3 nights in Northern Mallorca and 2 nights in Ibiza then direct flight to Rome. But if I choose to stay in Munich 2 days would it be worth it to see the main sights? I can fly direct to Mallorca same day at 10am or 530pm (day trip from airport to old town is an option). Or next day 530pm. That would give me 2 days to explore Munich if I choose. Worth it or should I just head to the beaches to kick the jet lag????
Here is our whole itinerary-
1 Munich or Mallorca
2 Munich /Malloroca or Mallorca
3 Mallorca - Ferry
4 Ibiza
5 Ibiza/Rome
6 Rome/Positano
7 Positano
8 Positano
9 Positano
10 Positano
11 Positano/Dubrovnik
12 Dubrovnik
13 Dubrovnik
14 Split
15 Split/ Interlaken
16 Interlaken
17 Geneva (Cheapest flight home)
Thanks for any help! Please feel free to pick at my itinerary, Ive though about switching Dubrovnik and Corfu but it looks like Croatia has more to see. Thanks!

To sum it up, your logistics are way out of whack.
Have you tried to map the distances involved?
I can recommend lots of places, but you won't be able to get 'there from here' without spending a whole day each time.

Thanks for your response! Yes I have. The reason the flights are in Munich and out of Geneva is because I found the cheapest air fare that way. Rest of the trip is Munich to Mallorca $80. Ferry to IBZ. Flight to Rome $80. Meet wedding party in Rome and take charted party bus to amalfi coast. The hardest part seems getting to Bari from Positano which sounds about 4 hours, correct? Then overnight ferry? Rent car in Dubrovnik and drop off in Split. Easyjet right to Geneva. Interlaken isn't in stone but we haven't been there and I know using swissrail was easy in the past.
If this sounds too stressful please let me know what we should change to make our trip easier. Or better bases near Geneva and Coatia. The only places we must spend time in are Ibiza and Positano. I appreciate your response and am open to suggestions!

This should keep most people busy for more than five minutes.

I have been to Ibiza before (that's why I'm going back). But last time I went I was with a large group of friends and we never stopped to really enjoy our surroundings ... This time I plan to have some fun but also relax more. However I haven't been to Majorca and was thinking the girlfriend would really enjoy it. Would you say its too similar to Ibiza? If so maybe we should just head to Ibiza.

I'd drop Interlaken and add the time to Ibiza.
Majorca is far more interesting compared with Ibiza, with great bird watching, interesting monasteries, good bike riding, hiking, wine tasting and some horrible tourist towns.
It depends, if she is a dead from the neck up jive-bunny then Ibiza is the place.
