8- night Aegean Sea Odyssey on a small sailing Yacht - Windstar's Star Legend

SAIL THE AEGEAN

A Luxury Journey Through Greece & Turkey

Where Ancient Wonders Meet the Azure Sea

Step aboard the magnificent Windstar Star Legend and discover Greece and Turkey in a way few travelers ever experience.

This intimate, all-suite luxury yacht welcomes just 312 guests, creating a relaxed and exclusive atmosphere where personalized service, exceptional dining, and unforgettable destinations take center stage.

This isn't simply a cruise.

It's your invitation to experience the Aegean differently.

Recently named the #1 Cruise Line in Greece, Windstar Cruises offers an experience unlike the large cruise ships. With fewer guests, you'll enjoy personalized service, spacious suites, and access to smaller, less-crowded ports that many larger ships simply can't reach.

Cruise Highlights

• Sail aboard the luxurious, all-suite Windstar Star Legend.
• Embark in Athens and visit seven incredible ports before arriving in Istanbul.
• Cruise through the spectacular Corinth Canal, one of the world's narrowest and most impressive waterways—a highlight few travelers ever experience.
• Explore the legendary coastlines of Greece and Turkey, where ancient Greek temples and magnificent Ottoman mosques tell the story of two remarkable civilizations.
• Sail the beautiful Aegean Sea, the historic Dardanelles, and the Sea of Marmara.

Exclusive Windstar Destination Discovery Event

One of the most extraordinary experiences of this voyage is included exclusively for Windstar guests.

Enjoy An Evening in Ephesus, an unforgettable after-hours event at one of the world's best-preserved ancient cities. Dine beneath the stars during a five-course, white-glove dinner while the beautiful sounds of the Aegean Chamber Orchestra fill the historic ruins around you. It's a magical evening few travelers ever have the opportunity to experience.

Extend Your Adventure

Why let the journey end with the cruise?

Enhance your vacation with an optional post-cruise extension to Cappadocia, Turkey, where surreal landscapes, underground cities, and iconic hot-air balloons create memories you'll treasure forever.

PORTS OF CALL

ATHENS, GREECE

Athens is known as the oldest city in the world! It is famous for being the birthplace of democracy, hosting the first modern Olympic Games in 1896.

Of course, one of the highlights of Athens is the Parthenon, but there is so much more to see! Plan a Pre-Cruise Excursion to see all the highlights of Athens and the surrounding area! Ask me about details!

TOP THINGS TO DO IN ATHENS:

• Acropolis and Parthenon Guided Walking tour
• Greek Food Walking Tours
• Half Day tours of Athens
• Meteora Monasteried, caves and coastal sopts
• Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon
• Island hopping to the neighboring islands
• Biblical Tour Letters to the Corinthians and St. Paul's footsteps!

CORINTH CANAL

The Corinth Canal in Greece is a stunning water passage that took over 2,000 years to go from a first idea to completion

Too Narrow for Big Ships: Modern massive cargo ships and mega cruise liners are too wide to fit. Today, mostly small cruise ships, local tourist boats, and private yachts squeeze through, sometimes leaving less than a meter of space on each side

Before the canal existed, ancient Greeks used the Diolkos—a paved stone road where ships were loaded onto wheeled vehicles and dragged across the 6-kilometer land strip to avoid a long 430-mile sea trip around the peninsula

DELPHI

Delphi was considered the center of the world by ancient Greeks, home to the famous Oracle, and built on the slopes of Mount Parnassus

The Center Point: Zeus sent two eagles flying from the opposite ends of the earth, and they met at Delphi.

The Omphalos Stone: A carved stone marker called the omphalos (meaning navel) was kept at the Temple of Apollo to show this special spot.

This will be a day in itself! Enjoy!

SANTORINI

Santorini is famous for its dramatic volcanic caldera, stunning cliffside sunsets, and iconic whitewashed architecture with blue-domed churches

EPHESUS, TURKEY

Ephesus was a major ancient Greek and Roman port city in modern-day Turkey featuring the Temple of Artemis (one of the Seven Wonders), the Library of Celsius, and a massive 24,000-seat theater

Now far from the sea: Silt from a nearby river filled the ancient harbor, leaving the ruins miles inland today

Legend says the fierce female warriors known as Amazons founded the city.

The Virgin Mary: Many believe she spent her final years in a small stone house near the hills of Ephesus.

THIS IS WHERE WE WILL BE HOLDING OUR EXCLUSIVE 5 STAR DINNER
