Hi,
We are looking for some advice on planning an itinerary for our honeymoon in July/August 2018. It's our first trip to Italy so we are keen to visit as many places possible but spend some time in each place and take it all in.
We are spending almost three weeks in Italy. We have booked a 4 night stay in Rome to begin and a 6 night stay in Positano to end our trip.
We have 10 nights in between from 20th-30th July and plan to visit Tuscany. We would like to spend about 3 nights in Florence and possibly visit Lucca. There is a music festival in Lucca when we will be there and ideally we would like to go to a concert there on 26th July. We would also like to spend a few nights in the Tuscan countryside but would prefer to travel by public transport rather than hire a car. We are considering staying in the Chianti Greve area which looks beautiful as we have read that you can travel to and from Florence by public bus. Ideally we would like to stay somewhere with gorgeous countryside views but also a few cafes or restaurants that we can walk to. We would love to do some cooking classes and vineyard tour. Would Chianti be the best place to stay do these things?
We are keen to make the most of our visit. Any thoughts on places to stay in Tuscany, the order of our itinerary, how long to stay and how easy it is to travel around by public transport would be greatly appreciated.
