Hi All,
I am in the very early stages of planning my month long b/p trip through Europe and would like a little help.
1. What is the fastest and/ or cheapest way to get from Jerusalem/ Tel Aviv to Athens, Greece?
2. What is the fastest and/or cheapest way to get from Athens, Greece to Sorrento, Italy? Or would going to Naples or Rome first be better then going to Sorrento first?
Plus any information about traveling, the rails, any tips on well anything would be so helpful. Since this is my first time going to Europe and parts of the trip I will be alone I need all the help I can get.
Thank You.
Sarah

patches0425,
Welcome to GFE!
Regarding your questions:
1.) I'm not sure if it's the "cheapest" method, but I'd suggest using a flight from Tel Aviv to Athens. I believe Aegean and Olympic both offer direct flights, with a travel time of about two hours.
2.) The best way from Athens to Sorrento would probably be a flight to Naples, but I'd have to check to see what's available. From Naples Airport, take the Curreri Viaggi Bus direct to Sorrento.
As this is your first trip to Europe, I'd highly recommend reading Europe Through The Back Door prior to your trip. It provides a lot of good information, including "travelling the rails" and other tips. Use country-specific Guidebooks to plan sightseeing in each location.
If you could provide further details on where you plan on visiting, it would be easier to provide more specific suggestions.
Good luck with your planning!

To add to Eagle's most excellent advice, you could also look at www.seat61.com for information on specific rail routes and other tips. If you can, as Eagle has asked, supply your preliminary itinerary, we can make futher suggestions and perhaps fill in any blanks you may have. |

First time traveler are much excited about their first trip and are always confused with basic things. Even they begin the trip without any pre-planning and might face various uncertainties.
Planning for holidays is time consuming event and can cost a lot of money. Unfortunately, the unexpected events or unpredictable activities can happen.

In planning for traveling one of the important factor is to decide which will be the best traveling medium..? if you are traveling with your friends and family then hiring a rental bus will be great for you.
