This looks reasonable too, but I would say that you haven't allocated enough time to Venice. I'd take a night away from both CT and Florence and add them to Venice. My own taste only, I'm sure others will disagree.

I think you are giving Venice short shrift - and probably have too much time in the CT - unless you have a real need to hike back and forth between these tiny villages.

Venice is unique and has a huge amount to see/do and I would add at least one day there.

I would spend some time in Naples to visit the wonderful archeological museum, especially as you'll be going to Pompeii.

Agree with the above comments on Venice - add a day.

I would replace 5Terre by Sardinia:
Ferry Barcelona - Porto Torres
3 days in Sardinia
Ferry Cagliari - Naples

What time of year? That may dictate whether you want to cut out CT and add time elsewhere, such as Venice.

Thank you so much for your replies everyone! Shall be in May/June at this stage if that helps?

I have not even considered Sardinia! Shall do some further reading
