12/30/08 to 01/01/09(3)Corfu
Then I will like to go to Greece, for new years but I have no idea the time frame from the travel from Rome To Corfu, Greece. Do anyone have a time frame???.

plus an hour on each end to get between airport and city and 1 to 2 hours to get through check-in and security on the front end and possibly passport control, baggage claim, finding the appropriate exit to get to town on the back end— so a total of 5 to 8 hours/

Most likely an overnight ferry.

Get a map and check on train schedules at bahn.de

Have you looked into an open-jaw ticket so you don’t have to go back to Madrid? Fly into Madrid and out of Rome, Venice, or Paris and rework your itinerary to eliminate back-tracking. I’ve actually had open-jaw fares work out cheaper than regular round-trip tickets, and even if it costs a little more at the outset you’ll save on having to get back to Rome and not waste valuable time in transit going back to Madrid a second time. Give me an idea of where you’re flying from and I’ll help you look for tickets.
