Itinerary

(DAY 1): 8 August, 2026 - Piraeus (Port Of Athens), Greece

Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity. Piraeus is the port of Athens, just 15km from the city and 45km from the airport.

(DAY 2): 9 August, 2026 - At Sea

Each Star Clippers ship offers a traditional and elegant way to see the world. Feel the wind fill the sails and gently carry you from one gorgeous destination to the next. During your time on board, you can choose to relax on a sun lounger or cool off in one of the pools on the top deck, while more adventurous passengers may enjoy the opportunity to climb the rigging or even have a go at steering the ship. Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.

(DAY 3): 10 August, 2026 - Rhodes, Greece

Rhodes, the jewel of the Aegean Sea, is famous for its medieval old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, idyllic beaches and sunny climate. Explore its cobbled streets, admire the Palace of the Grand Masters, relax on golden beaches and savour exquisite Mediterranean cuisine. For a change of scenery, head to Lindos, where the Acropolis dominates the emerald sea, contrasted by the white facades of the town's buildings. Rhodes is the perfect destination for lovers of history, culture and seaside relaxation.

(DAY 4): 11 August, 2026 - Bodrum, Turkiye

Bodrum is a coastal town in Türkiye's Aegean region, renowned for its unique blend of culture, history and natural beauty. Once known as Halicarnassus, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, its ruins are only partially visible today. Nevertheless, they offer a fascinating insight into the history of the region.

(DAY 5): 12 August, 2026 - Dalyan River, Turkiye

At first glance, this is a picture one hardly expects to see in Türkiye - A lovely, unspoiled lake teeming with fish, a lush marshy delta, verdant farmlands, a lazy, reedfringed river meandering into the sea. On shore, you can see ruins of the Lycian city of Caunos, with its basilica and fortifications looming over the green marsh where endangered Caretta loggerhead turtles hatch in the spring.

(DAY 6): 13 August, 2026 - Santorini, Greece

Perched on the cliffs of the caldera, this volcanic island offers breathtaking panoramic views, whitewashed houses with blue roofs and picturesque cobbled streets. Explore the charming villages of Oia and Fira, relax on unique black or red sand beaches, and enjoy exquisite local cuisine accompanied by renowned wines. A truly photogenic island with a reputation to match.

(DAY 7): 14 August, 2026 - Hydra, Greece

Hydra is a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. As there are no cars, for the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias you'll have to ride a donkey to the top.

(DAY 8): 15 August, 2026 - Piraeus (Port Of Athens), Greece

Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of western civilization, is a city for all eternity. Piraeus is the port of Athens, just 15km from the city and 45km from the airport.
