Athens, Greece to Istanbul
Embark on a unique cruise through Greece and Turkey, exploring less visited ports and experiencing the beauty of the Greek Isles and Turkey’s historic coast. Highlights include a special morning transit through the Corinth Canal, our signature Destination Discovery Event in Kusadasi, and an overnight stay in Thessaloniki. Sail to Kusadasi, home of the ancient Greek city of Ephesus, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Continue through the Aegean Sea to Kavala, known for its beaches, local cuisine, and historic sites. In Thessaloniki, explore the city’s landmarks or visit the Museum of the Royal Tombs, a UNESCO site. In Volos, take an excursion to the Meteora Byzantine Monasteries. On Skopelos, see filming sites from "Mamma Mia!" before heading to the Corinth Canal and Delphi. Visit Santorini's Oia for its iconic, white-washed buildings with blue domes. In Bodrum, explore the Castle, the ancient Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, and the Museum of Underwater Archaeology. Conclude your journey at the Greek islands of Mykonos and Lemnos, then end in Istanbul with tours of the Blue Mosque, Grand Bazaar, or a guided food tour through the markets.

VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 1: Athens, Greece
With 3,000 years of history, you can’t turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 2: Kusadasi
Few places offer such a rich combination of history and scenic beauty. In Ephesus, one of the greatest outdoor museums in the world, you’ll explore legendary sites steeped in history. Also visit the houses of Bulbul Mountain, where the roof of one forms the terrace of the next. This evening we present our Destination Discovery Event -- dinner in the moonlight and a concert near the  Celsus Library or on Harbour Street in ancient Ephesus.

Day 4: Kavala, Greece
Kavala, a vibrant port city in northern Greece, is known for its rich history and stunning coastal scenery. The city's landscape is dominated by the imposing Kavala Castle, offering panoramic views of the Aegean Sea. The historic old town, with its narrow streets and traditional houses, reflects Kavala's Ottoman and Byzantine heritage. Kavala is also known for its local cuisine – make sure you try traditional dishes, like kovourmas (cured meat), soutzoukakia (spiced meatballs), and local cheeses.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 5: Thessaloniki, Greece
Thessaloniki, Greece's second-largest city, is a vibrant cultural and historical hub. The city boasts numerous landmarks, including the iconic White Tower, the Rotunda, and the Arch of Galerius. The Byzantine Walls, a remnant of the city's ancient fortifications, offer panoramic views and lead to the impressive Trigonian Tower, a key defensive structure.  Nearby, the archaeological site of Vergina, home to the royal tombs of Macedonian kings, adds to the city's historical allure. Thessaloniki also has a lively waterfront lined with cafes, bars, and restaurants, offering stunning views of the Thermaic Gulf.

VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 7: Volos, Greece
Volos is known for its picturesque waterfront and vibrant cultural scene. Nestled at the foot of Mount Pelion and serving as the gateway to the Pelion Peninsula, Volos offers stunning views and easy access to beautiful beaches, lush forests, and charming mountain villages. The city's promenade is lined with lively cafes, restaurants, and bars, perfect for enjoying local cuisine and fresh seafood. Volos is only a few hours' drive from the breathtaking Meteora Monasteries, a UNESCO World Heritage site. These ancient monasteries, perched atop towering rock formations, blend spiritual history with awe-inspiring natural beauty.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 8: Skopelos, Greece
Skopelos is an island known for its lush green landscapes, blue waters, and charming whitewashed villages. The setting for the film, Mamma Mia!, Skopelos exudes a serene and laid-back beauty that captivates visitors. The island's coastline is dotted with idyllic beaches, including the famous Kastani Beach, with its golden sands and clear waters. The main town, Skopelos Town, charms with its narrow cobblestone streets, traditional tavernas, and quaint shops. History echoes through ancient churches and monasteries scattered across the island.

Day 9: Athens, Greece
With 3,000 years of history, you can’t turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 10: Corinth Canal
You’ll want to be on deck today as we transit the narrow Corinth Canal with other private yachts and Greek mail steamers. It’s a shortcut reserved for petite ships like ours, and as we cruise between the narrow limestone walls we are the envy of all the ancient Romans who once portaged their ships along this very route before there was a canal.
 
Canal transit time and duration is subject to change based on traffic and canal authorities.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 10: Delphi
Before there were fortune cookies there was the oracle of Delphi, dating back to 1400 B.C. The oracle gave cryptic guidance to the leaders of the day and was so highly respected that Delphi, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, became known as the center of the world. An optional tour lets you go exploring, from the Temple of Apollo to the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which contains some of the finest works of art in Greece. 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 12: Santorini
As our yacht approaches the spectacular cliffs rising from the deep azure sea, you’ll understand the magic of this area, where some say the ruins of Atlantis remain hidden. Visit the village of Oia and see the iconic Santorini blue domes or take a guided tour of Bronze Age excavations at the UNESCO site of Akrotiri. Toast the day with a crisp, cold glass of local Assyrtiko wine and appreciate the magic accessible to small ships like ours.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 13: Bodrum
The 15th century Castle of St. Peter, built by the Crusaders, presides over the city’s dual harbors. Colorful peacocks strut their stuff trying to claim your attention, but they have nothing on the white sugar cube houses, palm-lined boulevards, and shockingly blue Aegean below. For a picture-perfect seaside playground, Bodrum offers a surprisingly rich history, or maybe it’s the other way around. Visit the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, one of the original Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Surrender to the captivating magic of bathtub-warm waters and the Marina. Shop the bazaar for Milas cloth scarves and silver jewelry. Stroll the marina to see the other private yachts in port. (None as grand as yours, of course.)
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 14: Kusadasi
Few places offer such a rich combination of history and scenic beauty. In Ephesus, one of the greatest outdoor museums in the world, you’ll explore legendary sites steeped in history. Also visit the houses of Bulbul Mountain, where the roof of one forms the terrace of the next. This evening we present our Destination Discovery Event -- dinner in the moonlight and a concert near the  Celsus Library or on Harbour Street in ancient Ephesus. 

 
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 15: Mykonos
Wake this morning to the postcard-like scene of Mykonos, the classic Greek isle dotted with hundreds of whitewashed churches and thatch-roofed windmills, in a harbor bobbing with fishing boats and luxurious private yachts. An optional  tour including a scenic ferry ride takes you back to the 6th   century B.C. to the tiny island of Delos, a UNESCO site and the mythical birthplace of Apollo.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 16: Myrina
Limnos is a delightful, off the beaten path island with wild mountainous geology and large, uncrowded, sandy beaches all along the coastline. Windsurfing is becoming increasingly popular here. Sites to see here include the Medieval Castle of Myrina, Ancient Poliochni, Ancient Kavirio and the legendary cave of Philocetes.
VIEW THE JOURNEY
Day 17: Istanbul
Ah, Constantinople, Queen of Cities and the Door to Happiness. Istanbul is the only city in the world built on two continents—Europe and Asia—and its appeal is truly universal. The Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans all ruled their empires from here, leaving behind some of their finest monuments and a fascinating blend of cultures. Visit the harem at Topkapi Palace, where the clatter of silver soles once warned concubines of the approaching sultan. Admire the Iznik tiles and stained glass windows of the Blue Mosque, and the mystical light bathing the nave of Hagia Sofia. Shop the Grand Bazaar for a coffee cezve, magic lamp, embroidered slippers, or hand-woven kilim. Temper a tiny cup of potent Turkish coffee with bites of sweet lokum (Turkish delight). 

A Complimentary Windstar Destination Discovery Event

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience after hours during this Evening in Ephesus event exclusive to Windstar guests. Enjoy a 5-course, white-glove-service dinner under the stars on Harbor Street accompanied by a trio from the Aegean Chamber Orchestra. Surround yourself in the magic of these ancient ruins, and delight in every detail.

Please note: This Destination Discovery Event has been scheduled in a way that will allow you to book and experience another shore excursion on the same day and you will not miss anything.
