DAY 01: ISTANBUL AIRPORT – NAPLES – POMPEII AND CITY TOUR
Guests will meet at the Istanbul Airport, Gate 3, in front of Turkish Airlines (THY) international counters (counters 1–27) at 04:00 for check-in procedures. We will depart for Naples on THY flight TK1453 at 06:55. Arrival in Naples is scheduled for 08:20 local time.
From there, we proceed to Pompeii by our waiting vehicle. During the Roman Empire era, Pompeii was one of the largest cities in the Mediterranean. Buried under the ashes of Mount Vesuvius, it has become one of the world's largest open-air museums thanks to excavation work that has been ongoing for over two centuries. In Pompeii, you will stroll through its streets, discover the civilization of that era, and have the chance to see human remains preserved beneath the volcanic ash, with many structures from the Roman period still standing intact.
After the tour, we head to the city center of Naples. As a typical Mediterranean city built at the foot of Mount Vesuvius, the birthplace of Neapolitan songs and the homeland of Italian pizza, our bus tour will include visits to the city's elite neighborhoods, Enrico Caruso's former residence, a photo stop at Vomero Hill, the Royal Castle, and the Santa Lucia waterfront.
At the end of the tour, we return to our hotel in Naples for an overnight stay.
DAY 02: SORRENTO - CAPRI
After breakfast, we begin our full-day excursion at the time previously specified by our guide.
Sorrento, the birthplace of poet Torquato Tasso, is a land of colors, the home of mermaids, and a city of lemon and orange trees. Sorrento also hosted the famous Soviet writer Maxim Gorky in the 1920s. It is a charming southern city where kindness and hospitality converge, passed down from generation to generation.
After our Sorrento tour, we head to Capri. After traveling by fast ferry, we arrive at Capri Island. Places to visit in Capri include the town of Capri located above the harbor, the village of Anacapri at the highest point of the hill, the Gardens of Augustus, and the shopping street. Those who wish can take the cable car from Anacapri to the island's highest point and enjoy breathtaking views.

Amalfi, the capital of the Maritime Republic of Amalfi, was an important trading center between 800 and 1200 AD. Located in the Gulf of Salerno, 35 km south of Naples, the city of Amalfi was a popular destination for British aristocrats and wealthy individuals during the 1920s and 1930s.
