After breakfast at our hotel in the morning, we leave our hotel with our luggage and start a special day where we will discover two of Italy's most iconic cities. Our first stop is Venice, with its unique city texture found nowhere else in the world. Rising on 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 today holds its place among the world's most special cities thanks to its rich art and architectural heritage. After a delightful sea journey with the private vaporetto waiting for us at the Troncetto Port, we reach the historic center. During our walking tour through Venice's distinctive streets, the Doge's Palace, the historic 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 culture, 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 delightful break at historic cafes around St. Mark's, or try the flavors of Italian cuisine. Guests who wish can join the optional Gondola Tour (30 Euros), which offers the opportunity to discover Venice's narrow canals from a completely different perspective. Lasting approximately half an hour as we glide among historic palaces, under small bridges, and through Venice's unique canals, this journey will offer 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 gondola options for couples accompanied by music 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 extending from the Roman period to the Middle Ages, elegant squares, and romantic streets. During our walking tour, Bra Square, 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 historic 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 head 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; this great tragedy ensured that the details pertaining to the daily life of the city were preserved in an extraordinary way for nearly 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 witness the daily life of people who lived here about two thousand years ago through our guide's narratives. Pompeii, which gives the feeling of wandering through the streets of a Roman city where time has stopped rather than visiting an ancient city, will be one of the most impressive history stops of our journey. (The entrance fee for Pompeii and the mandatory headset fee for groups will be collected separately from our guests wishing to join the Pompeii tour, while 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. Meeting 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.

Following the arrival of our ship at the Port of Igoumenitsa in the morning hours, we leave the ship with our vehicle and head 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 regarding Atatürk's childhood years and the multicultural Thessaloniki life of the period. After our visit, we board our bus and start our panoramic city tour of Thessaloniki. 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, all together. The White Tower - the symbol of the city, the coastline extending along the Aegean Sea, Aristoteles Square and its surroundings, the historic city center, important structures surviving from the Galerius period, and the main points bearing the traces of the Ottoman period will be among the places we will see panoramically. While listening to the rich history of Thessaloniki extending from the ancient period to the Ottoman Empire and today's Greece accompanied by our guide's narratives, we will find the opportunity to closely get to know the architectural and cultural transformation of the city. Following our panoramic city tour, we give free time for you to have your lunch at leisure 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 delightful break at cafes around Aristoteles 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 depart for the İpsala Border Gate. After completing our passport and customs procedures, we continue our journey towards Izmir. With our arrival in Izmir; we complete our full 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 millennia-old splendor of Rome and Thessaloniki's history carrying meaning for us; and we say goodbye to you, our esteemed guests, with the wish to meet again on new routes and new discoveries.
