Southern Italy Amalfi, Positano, Puglia & Pompeii Tour from Izmir Itinerary
Tour Detail
PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 30 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notification date is 20 days before the start of the tour. A tour cancelled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through our agency.
VISA
Ordinary Passport ✅ Visa required
Green Passport ❌ Visa not required
Service Passport ❌ Visa not required
Your passport must be valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and must not be more than 10 years old.
For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be submitted with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide to you. To avoid problems with customs police at the border of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports must be renewed, and if the country applies visas to citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since guests under the age of 18 travelling alone or with only one of their parents may be asked by police officers at entry and exit points to provide a document showing the joint consent of both parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents pay particular attention to this matter.
*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for a visa-required destination/passport) does not mean that entry to the country is guaranteed. Passport control officers have the authority to refuse you entry to the country. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.
*As of April 10, 2026, under the European Entry/Exit System (EES), which came into effect in European Union countries, passport control procedures at border crossings are carried out by collecting biometric data (fingerprints and facial recognition).
Due to this practice, situations such as congestion, long waiting times, system delays or failure to read biometric data may occur at airports and border gates.
These processes are entirely under the control of the relevant country's border security authorities, and our agency has no authority to intervene. Therefore, our agency cannot be held responsible for delays, waiting times or related disruptions to the program that may occur.
Guests are strongly advised to ensure that their passports are physically suitable, that there are no conditions that could prevent biometric data collection (cuts, wounds, excessive cream, etc.), and that they allow sufficient time for border procedures. “This practice is an international security procedure, and all guests purchasing the tour are deemed to have accepted this process.”
CURRENCY
The currency used in European countries is the Euro. It is recommended that you carry small amounts of Euros with you.
TIME ZONE
Italy is 1 hour behind Türkiye during the summer time zone. For example, when it is 18:30 in Türkiye, it is 17:30 in Italy.
FOOD CULTURE
Italian cuisine; with fresh and natural ingredients at the forefront, Italian cuisine is among the world's most popular cuisines with its pasta, pizza, olive oil, cheese and seafood. Pizza, Risotto, Lasagna, Ravioli, Gnocchi, Tiramisu and Gelato are the main delicacies that have become symbols of Italy.
ELECTRICAL OUTLETS
The electrical outlets used in Italy are generally compatible with those in Türkiye. However, since different types of outlets may be encountered in some older facilities, it is recommended that you carry a plug converter (adapter) so that you can use your electronic devices without problems.
SHOPPING
Shopping opportunities are available at shopping malls located in city centers and at small stalls selling souvenirs.
TOURS & OPTIONAL TOURS and ACTIVITIES
*All City and Cultural Tours listed in the program are included in the price.
*If optional tours and activities or program options such as boat trips are explicitly stated in the program, they are organized with a minimum participation requirement of 15 people, and participation is not mandatory. If the required number is not reached, the excursions may not take place, or the prices, content and vehicles to be used for optional tours/activities may vary according to the number of participants. In addition, the days and times of extra tours/activities may be changed by the guide depending on the opening/closing status of museums, archaeological sites or venues at the destinations and on weather conditions.

*Triple rooms may be provided depending on hotel availability, and the bed provided for the 3rd person in such rooms may be smaller than standard beds. Triple rooms consist of 1 large bed and 1 extra bed. Since extra beds consist of beds known as folding beds and coach beds, participants booking for a 3rd person and/or child are deemed to have declared that they accept the possible lack of space and bed type in the rooms.
