Where in Sicily are you starting? I've taken the overnight train from Palermo to Rome. It's long, but if you get a couchette, it shouldn't be that bad. I, of course, had no couchette, but made friends with the people in my cabin. You can also fly...that would take the least amount of time. I have no idea what that would cost, however. <BR><BR>If you are already in Naples, you might as well take the train...it's only a few hours away from Rome.

Lisa <BR><BR>We recently flew to Rome, rented a car, and traveled from Naples to Palermo by ferry. We loved it. <BR><BR>Our travel was made very romantic by a warm & full moon night when we departed Naples, but the ability to spend one more day in the Naples area, and then be in Sicily the next morning after a restful night traveling by ship was really a plus. The ferry ride was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. <BR><BR>I am not sure what we would have done if we had arrived in Palermo without a car, but this means of traveling to Sicily worked well for us.<BR><BR>Bob
