Hello,
I'm very new to this whole Inter-railing scenario, so forgive me if I seem naive about things.
Me and my partner were planning on a 10 day trip of Italy this summer,
The route we were thinking was:
Flying to Venice (2 nights)>Florence (3 nights)- One of those days we thought a day trip to Pisa > Rome (3 nights)> Finish in Naples (2 nights), then fly back to London.
Is this feasible? Or not long enough stay?
I have looked into it briefly, and I thought a Youth 4 day 2nd Class rail ticket would be suitable. Heard there was a reservation fee when travelling, is there anything else I should know? For example for the longer journeys, I would prefer a night train.
Haven't looked into Hostels yet, but shouldn't be too difficult.
Thanks for any help!

Hi.
The InterRail ONE Country pass is a good choice.
But if you know your fix travel dates, it might be cheaper purchasing normal train tickets. If you order early, you will get cheap ones.
Then your are fixed on dates and trains and loose your flexibility, but if you don't need it, the normal tickets should be fine.
Order directly at trenitalia.it - tickets can not be delivered to an address outside of Italy. But you can pick them up at a ticket machine in a station in Italy.
Supplements are high for InterRail travelers in Italy - that's why the Italian railway company makes InterRail a bit unattractive ... at least their ONE Country pass.

If you don't have a problem to travel the slower way, you will find connections by supplement free IC trains (reservation recommended for EUR 3) and Regional/Local trains.

Hi! I have to tell you, Naples is not a good place to stay. If you want to stay in the area, though, you really should find a hotel in Sorrento - a beautiful Italian village just outside Naples. I've been in Naples myself, and it's in great contrast to the rest of the beautiful and cultural Italian coast. The whole city is basically a dunghill. And from Sorrento you can take the train to Vesuv and Pompeii, and take a boat trip to Capri or Ischa :)
