After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we leave our hotel 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 unique urban texture found nowhere else in the world. Rising over the waters of the Adriatic with its palaces, hundreds of bridges, narrow canals, and magnificent squares, Venice has been one of the most powerful centers of Mediterranean trade for centuries and has earned its place among the world's most special cities today thanks to its rich art and architectural heritage. After a pleasant boat journey on the private vaporetto waiting for us at Troncetto Harbor, we reach the historical center. During our walking tour through Venice's distinctive streets, 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 ranging from the glorious past of the Republic of Venice to its merchants, from its commercial relations with the East to the city's extraordinary living culture, we will not only see Venice but also discover its story. Free time after our tour. You can examine delicate pieces produced from Murano glass, visit characteristic shops selling Venetian masks, take a pleasant break at 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 Venice's narrow canals from a completely different perspective. This approximately half-hour journey gliding through historical palaces, under small bridges, and along Venice's unique canals will offer the opportunity to experience the city's romantic atmosphere in its most special form. (Gondolas accommodate 5 people, and the stated price is per person. Depending on availability, private gondolas for couples and musical gondola options can be organized separately.) After our free time, we return to Troncetto by vaporetto and depart for Verona. Known worldwide with 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.

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 stones following the massive eruption that occurred in 79 AD; the great tragedy experienced ensured that details regarding the daily life of the city were preserved in an extraordinary way for nearly two thousand years. As we advance through the stone-paved streets of Pompeii, we will see the houses, shops, temples, baths, squares, and elevated pedestrian crossings of the Roman period, and witness the daily life of the people who lived here nearly two thousand years ago through our guide's narratives. Pompeii, which gives the feeling of wandering the streets of a Roman city where time has stopped rather than visiting an ancient city, will be one of the most impressive historical stops of our journey. (The Pompeii entrance fee and the mandatory headset fee for groups will be collected separately from our guests who wish to join the Pompeii tour, while the mandatory local guide fee will be divided by the number of participants.) After our tour, we give free time for lunch and shopping. Meeting at the time specified by our guide, we depart for Brindisi or Bari Port for our ferry journey where we will cross the Adriatic.

Following the docking of our ship at Igoumenitsa Port in the morning hours, we leave the ship with our vehicle and set off towards northern Greece. Following our journey, we reach Thessaloniki, one of the important port cities of the Aegean, which has embodied the traces of Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and modern Greek periods throughout history. In Thessaloniki, which holds a very special place in terms of Turkish history, our first stop is the Atatürk House, where Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of the Republic of Turkey, was born in 1881. Here, we listen to our guide's narratives about Atatürk's childhood years and the multicultural Thessaloniki life of the period. After our visit, we board our bus and begin our panoramic Thessaloniki city tour. During our panoramic tour with our bus, we will have the opportunity to see the different faces of Thessaloniki shaped by Byzantine, Ottoman, Jewish, and modern Greek cultures for centuries together. The White Tower, the symbol of the city, the coastline extending along the Aegean Sea, Aristotle Square and its surroundings, the historical city center, important structures surviving from the Galerius period, and the main points bearing traces of the Ottoman period will be among the places we will see panoramically. Accompanied by our guide's narratives, while listening to the rich history of Thessaloniki extending from the ancient period to the Ottoman Empire and today's Greece, we will have the opportunity to closely recognize the architectural and cultural transformation of the city. Following our panoramic city tour, we give free time for you to have lunch freely in the lively center of Thessaloniki and explore the city. During this time, you can taste traditional Thessaloniki pastries and beloved flavors of Greek cuisine, take a pleasant break at the cafes around Aristotle Square, or enjoy the Aegean view by walking along the coast. Meeting again at the time specified by our guide, we bid farewell to Thessaloniki and set off for the İpsala Border Gate. After completing our passport and customs procedures, we continue our journey towards Eskişehir. With our arrival in Eskişehir; we complete our action-packed European journey extending from the romantic streets of Ljubljana, one of the historical capitals of the Balkans, to the canals of Venice and the elegance of Verona, from the exclusive atmosphere of Lake Como to the style of Milan, from Tuscany's unique Pisa–Florence–Siena trio to the thousands of years of splendor of Rome and the history of Thessaloniki that holds meaning for us; and we say goodbye to you, our valued guests, with the wish to meet again on new routes and new discoveries.
