Tips

If you wish to extend the trip, consider adding a few extra days in the Amalfi Coast for a scenic, wheelchair‑accessible coastal drive, or a visit to the island of Rhodes, which boasts excellent accessibility facilities. To shorten the itinerary, you can combine the Florence and Tuscany segments into a single 4‑day stay, and replace the Crete leg with a day‑trip to the nearby island of Aegina from Athens, which reduces travel time while still offering beautiful beaches and historic sites.
