Question
Hello, I want to visit Italy and Gozo during the same vacation.  If I visited the Rome area then took a train to Sicily, then a ferry to Malta...would this be too hectic?  I will only have 2 weeks total to fit it all in.

Answer
hi lucille

not sure how long the train ride from rome to sicily, prob catania is but the ferry is a min of 3 hours. it depends on what else you're doing in these 2 weeks, if it is just rome and gozo than it can easily be done but if you intend to see more of italy it can get hectic. also, once you arrive in malta you will have about an hour journey by car to catch another ferry to gozo. so lots of traveling!

hope this helps
