Tour details

PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT
This tour is organized with a minimum participation requirement of 30 people. If sufficient participation is not achieved, the final cancellation notice date is 20 days before the tour start date. The tour canceled due to insufficient participation will be notified to you through our agency.

VISA and PASSPORT
Ordinary Passport  Visa required

Green Passport  Visa not required

You must have a passport valid for 6 months from the end date of the trip and not older than 10 years.

For destinations requiring a visa, the visa application must be made with the documents specified in the “Documents Required for Visa” list that your agency will provide for you. In order to avoid any issues with customs police at the border crossing of the country to be visited due to torn, worn, wet and/or similarly damaged passports, such passports should be renewed, and if the destination is a country that applies visas to T.C. citizens, the relevant visa must be in the new passport. Otherwise, responsibility belongs to the passenger. Since our guests under 18 traveling alone or with only one of their mother or father may be asked by the police officer in charge at the country entry-exit points for a document showing the mutual consent of the parents, we recommend that our guests under 18 and their parents be sensitive about this matter.

*Having a valid passport and/or having obtained a visa (for destinations/passports requiring a visa) does not mean that entry into the country will be granted. The passport police have the authority to deny your entry into the country. Our agency is not responsible for this situation; responsibility belongs to the passenger.

After having breakfast at our hotel in the pleasant morning of Verona, we set off for Venice, the capital of the Venetian Republic, which emerged as one of the most important powers on the seas during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and stood out as a center of art and trade from the 13th century until the late 17th century. After an enjoyable journey of about 1.5 hours, we board the Vaporetto for our passage to Venice and begin our tour of this city built around forty-five canals connected to the Grand Canal.

We visit this ancient city and see structures such as the Odeon, the Grand Theatre, the Lupanare (Brothel), and the Forum, as well as the main boulevards that testify to the city’s advanced development, its water transportation system, and the petrified human figures that remained under lava for centuries.

On this full day of exploring the must-see Amalfi Coast of southern Italy, we will be greeted by extraordinary views and many historical sites. In Sorrento, we board our vehicle, which is ready to take us around the region. With spectacular sea views from the cliffs, we arrive at the Amalfi Coast and the town of Amalfi, another paradise-like destination. This historic town, built on steep cliffs, played an important role in the Middle Ages as a great maritime republic and is now on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Between the 9th and 11th centuries, as the Amalfi Republic, it was a major naval power and held an important place in Mediterranean trade alongside other Italian maritime cities such as Venice, Pisa, and Genoa. However, the great tsunami in 1343 and the natural disasters that followed caused Amalfi to lose its power, and over the years it has survived to the present day with its wonderful location, views, and magnificent coastline. Today, Amalfi is considered one of Italy’s most beautiful coastal towns. Among the places we will have the opportunity to see are the Arsenale della Repubblica (Old Shipyard Museum), Amalfi Harbor, and the Amalfi Cathedral (Duomo di Amalfi), dedicated to the town’s patron saint, Saint Andrew. After free time in this beautiful town, where we can take wonderful and unforgettable photos, we return with our private vehicles that have taken us around Amalfi, first to Sorrento and then back to Naples, where we go to our hotel.
