We took flights from London to Rome, Rome to Santorini, Santorini back to Rome, where we then caught a train to Naples. Italy has an amazing rail system where you can pretty much travel throughout the country by train for a very low cost. The trains leave at all times of the day and the travel times are very quick because of the trains at high speeds. We were able to purchase the tickets online before, but you are able to buy them there at the train stations. We purchased all of our Italy train tickets on the Italia Rail website. After traveling through Italy we planned to take a flight from Venice which was our final stop in Italy to Amsterdam.
One of the websites that I found that was so very useful to me was Seat 61. He goes into detail on routes you can take between cities and which is most budget and or time effective. You can even put your specific destinations on the website and it gives you advice. It's basically a step by step guide on how to buy and where. We continued our trip with a train ride from Amsterdam to Paris, a flight from Paris to Barcelona and finished it off with a train ride to Madrid before flying home.
The process of booking all these flights and train tickets can be a little tedious, but from experience, I liked booking them beforehand so we didn't have to worry about getting to where we wanted to be when we wanted to be there. Of course, if you're more of the spontaneous traveler and want to just go day by day then all these are available for purchase day of, depending on availability of course.
