Classical Italy Tour (Naples Departure, Milan Return)

Meeting at Istanbul Airport International Terminal. After ticket, passport, and baggage procedures, departure to Naples on Turkish Airlines’ scheduled flight. Upon arrival, we leave the airport and stop by Pompeii, an ancient city unlike any other in the world. This magnificent ancient city, where life suddenly and unexpectedly came to a halt, will almost draw visitors out of their own time with its story and structures and will perhaps be the most impressive and most striking point of our trip. Then we begin our Naples city tour, which we will conduct panoramically. On our Naples city tour, the Royal Palace, built in the 16th century, the San Carlo Theater, which hosts some of the world’s most important performances, the Umberto I Gallery, famous for its cafés and shops, the Church of San Francesco Di Paolo, inspired by the Pantheon in Rome, Plebiscito Square, Angevin Castle, and Naples Port are among the places to see. After our tour, we head to Rome. Upon arrival, check-in at our hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.

After breakfast at the hotel, we begin our panoramic Rome city tour. Our first stop is the Vatican, the administrative center of the Catholic denomination of Christianity and an independent state, viewed panoramically from the outside; St. Peter’s Basilica and St. Peter’s Square. Then we begin exploring this magnificent city, which the Ancient Romans described as Caput Mundi (Capital of the World). Our first stop is the Colosseum, one of the most magnificent works of Roman monumental architecture, which we view panoramically from the outside. After seeing this unique structure, which was inaugurated in AD 80 and fell into disuse in the 6th century AD, we get on our vehicle and begin to see Rome’s special points and monuments. After seeing Circus Maximus, we get off our vehicle and first visit the Spanish Steps (Piazza di Spagna), then the Trevi Fountain (Fontana di Trevi). After the free time given, we first photograph the Pantheon from the outside, one of the most important structures in world architectural history. Then, after seeing Navona Square (Piazza Navona), one of the city’s most enjoyable squares, dinner and accommodation will be at our hotel in the city. (Depending on the time, the Rome Central Mosque will be visited for the noon/afternoon prayers)

After breakfast at the hotel, we depart for Siena. Arrival in Siena, home to Italy’s most famous religious festival, the horse races, and the largest and most magnificent square in the Tuscany region. During our journey, we will pass through the Tuscany Valley and enjoy wonderful views. Free time in Siena square for shopping and taking photos. Meeting at the specified time and departure for Florence. Florence, as the heart of the Renaissance, has left deep traces in art and culture. We will discover the history of this great city, where the past and present merge, while visiting the Duomo Cathedral, the Bell Tower and the Uffizi Palace, Bell Tower, Baptistery, and Signoria Square, as well as structures from the Renaissance period. After our tour, dinner and accommodation.

After breakfast at the hotel, while following traces of art, science, and engineering from past to present, we will also see some of the most important structures in the West. Our first stop is Pisa, where we will see the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa from the outside, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is a bell tower located in Pisa, Italy, known for its famous "tilted" structure. Construction began in the 12th century and was completed in the 14th century. The tower is located next to Pisa Cathedral and is approximately 57 meters high. Due to ground problems in its construction, it began to lean, and this made the structure world-famous. Today, after seeing the Pisa Tower, which has become an iconic symbol with its leaning structure, as well as Pisa Cathedral, Europe's most magnificent baptistery, and the Square of Miracles, we continue on our way to Venice. Upon our arrival, after getting off our vehicle, we board the Vaporetto (small steamboat-passenger boat) waiting for us and take an enjoyable journey of approximately 20-25 minutes. During the journey, our guide will share detailed information with us about the Venetian islands and buildings. After arriving in Venice, after seeing the New Prison building, Campanile, Dandolo Palace, Old Prison, Doge's Palace, Clock Tower, St. Mark's Square, and Basilica, we take a canal tour with gondolas unique to Venice for our guests who wish to do so. (Gondola Tour Extra 30 € per person - for 5 people). (If you wish, you can rent 1 private gondola for 150€) After our tour, free time for shopping and taking photos. Gather at the specified time and return to the mainland by Vaporetto again. Dinner and accommodation. (Venice accommodation will be in the Vicenza, Mestre, Treviso, Padova, and Lido de Jesolo regions.)

After breakfast at our hotel, we set off for Milan, one of Europe’s most stylish cities and the capital of fashion and design. Along the way, we stop at Lake Garda, one of Italy’s most beautiful lakes. At the entrance to the town of Sirmione, the pearl of Lake Garda, which is also Italy’s largest lake, we are greeted by Scaliger Castle, one of Italy’s best-preserved castles, whose history dates back to the 13th century. We enjoy free time in Sirmione, a quiet medieval town with buildings covered in bougainvillea flowers, its historic atmosphere, and preserved streets, and take a speedboat tour on Lake Garda. Then we continue to Milan. Upon arrival, we begin our panoramic city tour of Milan. During our city tour, the Sforza Castle, Dante Street, the Duomo Cathedral, the Vittoria Emmanuele II Gallery, the Da Vinci Monument, and La Scala Opera House are among the main places we will see.

After shopping and free time, depart for the airport at the time determined by our guide, and the end of our pleasant tour.
