Day 1: Piraeus (Port of Athens), Greece | Embark

Strolling through the Agora beneath the Acropolis, it feels as if the voices of Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle still echo, debating philosophy’s greatest minds. Ancient Athens, the cradle of democracy and cornerstone of Western civilization, remains a timeless city. Its port, Piraeus, lies 15 km from the city center and 45 km from the airport.

Day 2: 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 and a peaceful library.

Day 3: Dikili, Turkey

Dikili is a quiet little town with a harbor lined with restaurants and shops. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the site of Pergamon, with its acropolis perched 280 meters high and its Asclepion.

Day 4: Myrina, Limnos, Greece

Zeus hurled Hephaestus from Mt. Olympus to land on Limnos, leaving the god of metalworking with a permanent limp. Perhaps he was nursed to health by excellent red and white wines (fortified or not) grown on Limnos volcanic soils. The town of Myrina sits under the winding white ramparts of the Kastro, built in 1186. But even earlier ruins - one of the most ancient sites in Greece - lie in nearby Poliohni.

Day 5: Skiathos, Greece

Skiathos, the jewel of Greece's Sporades islands, is famous for its golden sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lively atmosphere. Explore the charming streets of Skiathos Town and idyllic beaches such as Lalaria or Castro, dominated by the ruins of the ancient capital of Skiathos, both only accessible by boat.

Day 6: Skopelos, Greece

This picturesque island, made famous by the film 'Mamma Mia!', offers a unique blend of unspoiled nature and traditional Greek culture. Wander through the narrow streets of Skopelos Town with its whitewashed houses and Byzantine churches, relax on dreamy beaches such as Panormos and Kastani, and enjoy delicious local cuisine.

Day 7: Poros, Greece

Poros, sometimes called Kavalria, is very close to the Argolid peninsula. It is home to the Greek Naval Academy, and visitors can listen to the cadet band every morning. Above all, Paros is a gateway to the sanctuary of Asclepius, the Mecca of Greek medicine, and the theatre of Epidaurus, built to host the Asclepias (or Asclepian Games), a competition in honor of the physician god Asclepius. It served as a model for many other Greek theatres.
