Choose priorities before the route
The short routes use Rome; longer mainland routes add Florence, Venice and Milan without making Sicily a rushed extra. A Sicily-led visit is a valid alternative using the Palermo, Agrigento, Taormina and Etna guides.
Confirm actual transport and timed entries before adopting any sequence. The day count includes travel, luggage and accommodation changes. Keep a lighter alternative whenever weather, access or your party’s pace changes the plan.
