DAY 5: Livorno (for Pisa and Florence).
On the western shores of Tuscany, 16th century Livorno is the gateway to two of Italy's most poetic cities - Pisa and Florence. Founded in 1577 by the Medici family, its photogenic centre is an easy walk from the port and features lovely canals, bridges and plazas fringed with chic cafés and shops. Nearby, Pisa is famed for its amazing Leaning Tower and magnificent cathedral while Florence, the capital of Renaissance art, is home to the magnificent Uffizi Gallery featuring works by Michelangelo and Da Vinci, the Piazza del Duomo, the statue-filled Piazza della Signoria and the fairytale Ponte Vecchio bridge. (B, L, D)
DAY 6: Civitavecchia (for Rome).
Today, don't miss an optional excursion to witness the glory that is Rome. Italy's capital overflows with Roman, Renaissance and Baroque treasures, making it a sightseer's dream. Witness the vast and glorious St Peter's Square, the majestic St Peter's Basilica and splendid Clemente's Basilica before enjoying a guided tour of the mighty Colosseum, where gladiators once fought for their lives, cheered on by 50,000 baying spectators. (B, L, D)
DAY 7: Naples.
A captivating combination of vibrant street life and historical grandeur, Naples is an exhilarating city set in a breathtaking position between mighty Mount Vesuvius and the shimmering Bay of Naples. Explore the wealth of cultural treasures and atmospheric sights at leisure or perhaps join an optional trip to visit the chic shops and glamorous piazzettas of beautiful Capri island, the remarkable remains of Pompeii - the ash-covered remnants of a city populated by 25,000 people before Vesuvius exploded into life in 79AD, or the soaring slopes and crater of Mount Vesuvius National Park itself.

DAY 10: Istanbul.
The former capital of three empires, Istanbul, straddles Europe and Asia and is a melting pot of culture, religion, ancient history and modernity. Savour its unique atmosphere and beauty with optional visits to the exquisite Blue Mosque, with its intricate blue and white-tiled facades or St Sophia Church, with its wonderful Byzantine mosaics. (B, L, D)
DAY 11: Izmir.
Known as the 'Pearl of the Aegean', this vibrant city boasts sandy beaches and palm-lined promenades and serves as the gateway for many of Turkey's finest archaeological sites. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure or perhaps join an optional city tour. Alternatively take an optional tour of Ephesus, the best-preserved ancient city in the Mediterranean.
