Picture yourself aboard an elegant four-masted clipper ship, gliding across sapphire waters under billowing sails. The Star Flyer revives the romance of classic seafaring, blending timeless sailing tradition with refined comfort. With fewer than 300 passengers, you'll experience an intimacy impossible on larger vessels—genuine connection with fellow travelers and crew who know your name by day two.
From Athens, your voyage sweeps through the Southern Cyclades and beyond, beginning in Rhodes, where Crusader castles overlook medieval Old Towns and sun-baked beaches stretch endlessly. The island's layered history—Greek, Byzantine, Ottoman—unfolds through narrow streets lined with pastel shutters and hidden tavernas serving generations-old recipes.
Your ship then carries you to the dramatic Turkish coastline. Bodrum enchants with its whitewashed harbor and Crusader fortress, while the Dalyan River surprises with emerald waters, ancient Lycian tombs carved into limestone cliffs, and loggerhead turtle nesting grounds. These are destinations most cruise ships cannot access, reserved for vessels with shallow drafts and nimble sailing grace.
Santorini's volcanic caldera and impossibly blue domes await, followed by Hydra's quiet island charm—no cars, no noise, just donkeys, artists' studios, and waterfront cafes where time moves differently. Evening returns to the ship mean al fresco dining under stars, wine flowing freely, and conversations that drift toward philosophy as easily as the boat drifts with the Aegean breeze.
Reserve your cabin aboard the Star Flyer and rediscover what sailing means. Set forth in August when the Mediterranean glows its brightest, and return to Piraeus transformed.
Gateway to Athens, Piraeus is Europe's largest passenger port, offering easy access to the Acropolis and Athens' cultural treasures.
