Independent vacation on the islands of Italy
I would like to independently go to the islands of Italy (Sardinia, Sicily). Usually we go through tour operators, we ourselves are somehow scary. How difficult is it to organize such a trip?

It depends on who undertakes to make it himself ;-)
If you know at least English, it's already easier.
If you have high computer literacy and good communication skills with the Internet, in particular, searching for something is even easier.
If you are a mobile person and have some desire to independently organize a trip and free time for this, even better.
If, in the presence of all of the above, your budget is very tight or your goal of an independent trip is savings, then think about it! It might not work the first time!
The first independent trip, as for me, is best planned without long trips by public transport, in one country (and preferably a region) with a small number of changeable hotels. Ideal 1-3.
As for your choice, Sardinia or Sicily. The idea itself is great and doable.
There are cons for the first time:
1. Air. Expensive and with transfers. If you need a budget, this is the most difficult point - you need to look for cheap tickets, connections, etc.
You can come up with 1 change and fly Vizeir.
2. Visa. Are you ready to receive it yourself? Do you have any idea what and how? Money, work? Then not a problem.
3. Movement around the country, city. You need to study everything yourself before the trip, print schedules, maps.
All!

Everything above is correct and clearly stated. From myself, I want to add, summarizing.
If you know where and how to book hotels, flights / transfers and the procedure for issuing a visa, then there are no obstacles to independent travel.

In half of the cases, an independent "vacation" turns out to be more expensive than through operators.

Italy is just one of those countries where it is cheaper to go by yourself. I'm considering my options right now. The weak link of Sardinia and Sicily is flights. From Ukraine, this is not very good. More expensive than Venice and Milan, for example. But you can regularly monitor offers and suddenly come across cheap tickets. Otherwise, the first responder answered exhaustively. Do not be afraid. Do it the first time, you'll be fine. And then it will be easier)
