After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we check out with our luggage and embark on a special day where we will discover two of Italy's most iconic cities. Our first stop is Venice, with its incomparable urban fabric. Rising over the waters of the Adriatic, Venice—with its palaces, hundreds of bridges, narrow canals, and magnificent squares—has been one of the most powerful centers of Mediterranean trade for centuries; and thanks to its rich art and architectural heritage, it holds its place today among the most special cities in the world. After a pleasant boat journey with the private vaporetto awaiting us at the Port of Troncetto, we reach the historical center. During our walking tour through the unique streets of Venice, the Doge's Palace, the historical prison, the Bridge of Sighs, the magnificent St. Mark's Basilica, St. Mark's Square, the Campanile, the Astronomical Clock, and the Rialto Bridge will be among the main points we will see. With our guide's narratives extending from the glorious past of the Republic of Venice to its merchants, from its commercial relations with the East to the city's extraordinary lifestyle, we will not only see Venice but also discover its story. Free time after our tour. You can examine elegant works produced from Murano glass, visit characteristic shops selling Venetian masks, take a pleasant break at the historical cafes around St. Mark's, or taste the flavors of Italian cuisine. Guests who wish may join the optional Gondola Tour (30 Euros), which offers the opportunity to discover the narrow canals of Venice from a completely different angle. Lasting about half an hour as we glide past historical palaces, under small bridges, and through Venice's characteristic canals, this journey will provide the opportunity to experience the romantic atmosphere of the city in its most special form. (Gondolas hold 5 people and the stated price is per person. Depending on availability, private gondolas for couples and gondolas with musical accompaniment can be organized separately.) After our free time, we return to Troncetto by vaporetto and depart for Verona. Known worldwide for Shakespeare's immortal story of Romeo and Juliet, Verona is one of Northern Italy's most impressive cities with its historical heritage stretching from the Roman period to the Middle Ages, elegant squares, and romantic streets. During our walking tour, Piazza Bra, the Verona Arena dating from the Roman period to the present day, and Juliet's House will be among the main points we will see. After our tour, you can stroll through the city's chic shopping streets, sip your coffee in its historical squares, or enjoy Italian desserts. After free time, we depart for Milan. Transfer to our hotel in and around Milan. Overnight at our hotel.

After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we leave our hotel with our luggage and set off towards Southern Italy. The first stop of the day is Pompeii, one of the world's most extraordinary archaeological sites. Established at the foothills of Mount Vesuvius, this ancient Roman city remained under a layer of volcanic ash and stone following the major eruption that occurred in 79 AD; this great tragedy ensured that details pertaining to the city's daily life were preserved in an extraordinary manner for about two thousand years. As we move along the cobblestone streets of Pompeii, we will see Roman-period houses, shops, temples, baths, squares, and elevated pedestrian crossings; and with our guide's narratives, we will witness the daily life of people who lived here about two thousand years ago. Pompeii—which gives the feeling of wandering the streets of a Roman city where time has stopped rather than just visiting an ancient city—will be one of the most impressive historical stops of our journey. (For guests wishing to join the Pompeii tour, the Pompeii entrance fee and the mandatory headset fee for groups will be collected separately, and the mandatory local guide fee will be divided by the number of participating persons.) After our tour, we give free time for lunch and shopping. At the time specified by our guide, we depart for the Port of Brindisi or Bari for our ferry journey where we will cross the Adriatic. After our customs and boarding procedures, we board our ship and begin our overnight journey on the Adriatic Sea towards Greece. Overnight on board.
