Thank you for all of the information Voj.

I'm now thinking that this route will be too much to handle for my friends who will be in Europe for their first time.


I guess

Paris > Lyon > Torino > Venezia > Patras

this just seems so boring though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Maybe I can come up with something better.

Depends on if you want to visit those cities or not.
Imo,

London > Paris > Lyon > Milano > Venezia > Patras is a better way to do it, not depending if you want to visit those places or not.
Now, if you don't want to visit Venezia (a bit overmegasupercrowded in the summer) it is better to transit via Ancona (and ships sail just far more often)
