We finally got our trip photos ready to share! Click Here to see the photos from our trip! Here are some highlights:
The first 4 nights of our trip, we toured Istanbul with family!
It was a blast thanks to our guide, Necip, who showed us all of the sights!
After our 4 nights in Istanbul, Jamie and I headed to Italy. We started in Vernazza, in the Cinque Terre.
The views were absolutely breathtaking!
After a long day hiking, swimming, and eating, we headed south to Florence, and stopped at Pisa along the way!
It was exhilarating to climb the leaning tower.
We were on top of the world! Then, we got back on the train to visit Florence.
We enjoyed walking around the city, and our first night, we enjoyed one of the best meals we had during our time in Italy!
The next day was jam-packed full of museums, hill climbs, and lots of walking!
After a full day in Florence, we were ready for some relaxation, so we headed to the Agriturismo Marciano in Siena.
This was one of the highlights of our trip! We enjoyed wonderful meals at the agriturismo as well as wonderful wine and a tour of the vineyards.
After 3 nights of relaxation, we left Siena for Rome. Rome was beautiful, too!
We walked through the entire city and stumbled upon many famous fountains and buildings.
Our first day in Rome, we sampled many foods in Testaccio, a neighborhood just south of the main Roman attractions. We enjoyed sandwiches, suppli (fried rice balls) and pizza!
We enjoyed exploring a city with so much history!
After 3 nights in Rome, we headed even further south to the Almalfi Coast. But first, we stopped in Pompeii!
Visiting pompeii was an incredible experience. And then, onward we went to Positano (we stayed in a small village called Nocelle). And when we arrived, we were greeted by the most spectacular views of the coast.
We spent 3 nights in Positano, enjoying the clear waters and beautiful scenery, along with the local wines!
After all of that, it was time to head back home. It was a pleasant experience traveling home because Turkish Airlines is such a nice airline to fly with. They treated us very well with nice meals and a free hotel in Istanbul during our layover!
