FH hasn't ever been and I've been ALL over Italy so I can't pick...we want to spend a few days there and then pop over to the Greek Isles...
Any ideas? (my vote was for Capri)
TIA!

Re: If you had to pick one place in Italy...
HAHA we are thinking the same!!
We are looking at Capri and the Amalfi Coast-So also research Sorrento & Positano, which are a boat ride across from Capri. We've been looking at a bunch of hotels on travelocity, expedia, orbitz, etc, etc, etc...
My friend from Sicily also says to look into Taormina, which is in the Sicily region, and is similar to Capri.

Re: If you had to pick one place in Italy...
What do you want, history, art or romance?
I would never go to Italy again without going to Rome. But Florence and Venice are beautiful and a gondola ride on your honeymoon may be pretty romantic. Capri is nice too, but Rome is the best city in Italy in my opinion.

See thats the thing--I'm like don't you want to see things your first time there? and hes like not concerned but I can't go to Italy with him and have him not see Rome? Like really?
What about 1 city in Italy then 1 beachie place, 2 days each? (my city pick is venice but I think thats RATHER far from Capri!)

I've never been to Italy, but I would love to go to Venice! By far that's my top choice. I'm obsessed with the masks. And my mother thought it would be a great idea to dress me up as a gondolier for Halloween when I was 4 years old. With an eyebrow pencil mustache. It's really an odd turn of events.

i fm'd u a LOOOOOOOON NNNNNNGGGGG fm! My fav place is where the olympics will be held next time! Abbruzzi! Absolutely gorgeous! Half hour in either direction from snow capped mountains (like the alps) and the pescara beach! its insane!
My personal opinion, Rome and Venice are all TOURISM and thts really it. If u go to venice stay in the town of Lido NOT in Venice, its nicer and has a beach!!!! and its beautiful!
Rome i hated other than the restaurant we fell in love with

Abbruzzo!! Thats where my fam is from!! : ) And I agree its gorg!!
I would do Rome or Florence for the 'I have to see places in Italy' type of thing....but I would also def do Capri!! Its one of the most beautiful place I have ever been too....especially when I saw the blue gratto... Florence and Capri are my two favs, but Rome is closer to Capri than Florence.

Re: If you had to pick one place in Italy...
We are going to be in Italy and are doing the Amalfi coast drive followed by a hike in Pompeii. We are also doing a very extensive tour in Rome. In Florence, we are doing an extensive tour and a quick pass to Pisa. And on our last night, we are in Venice for two days with a couple of activites in mind- like the glass factory and a gondola ride.

I love Capri but I don't know if it 'feels' like Italy. I love the art and the history and Capri while beautiful is more beachy.
I love, love, love Venice!
