Assisi
 
A quick question; is Asissi ok for a day trip between Florence on the way back to Rome or is overnight a must?

How are you traveling?

Was planning on leaving Florence early in the morning by train to Rome. I have a cruise to Greece that leaves the next day.

You could manage a quick run through of Asissi but I would suggest skipping it this time and spending the time in Rome.

I have been to Rome 2x before so I thought Assisi might be different.

The works by Giotto are well worth a detour to see.

Yes, well worth it, but no need to spend the night. It's a big town, but if you do your homework or hire a guide you can manage it all in 3/4 of a day.

Thanks for the help. I have one more question. What are the travel times between Florence to Assisi and the Assisi to Rome?

I spent the night last month but considered just staying the day on the way to Rome. The basillica is well worth seeing and the town is lovely.
