From New York there are no direct flights to Florence, however, if you don't mind a layover Florence is a great option to fly into. Once you land in Florence you are just a one and a half hour drive or direct train ride to Cortona (see train and car rental information below).

The train is a great option for those of you traveling into Florence. Take the Regionale train RE (Local train), which takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the Camucia-Cortona train station. This Fare ticket is about 10€.
