Day 1: Piraeus | Embark

Stroll through the ancient Agora beneath the towering Acropolis, where the legacy of great philosophers like Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle comes to life. Athens, the birthplace of democracy and a cornerstone of Western civilization, remains timeless. The nearby port of Piraeus, located 15 km from the city center and 45 km from the airport, serves as Athens’ gateway to the Aegean.

Day 2: Hydra, Greece

Hydra is a charming town known for its elegant mansions, many constructed in the early 1800s by successful merchants during the Napoleonic Wars. With no cars on the island, reaching the Monastery of Ilias for its breathtaking views requires a scenic donkey ride to the summit.

Day 3: 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 4: Bodrum, Turkey

Bodrum is a coastal town in Turkey'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: 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 savor 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,e and seaside relaxation.

Day 6: 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 revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only), and a peaceful library.

Day 7: Alexandria, Egypt

The second largest city in Egypt, Alexandria, known as “The Pearl of the Mediterranean”, has an atmosphere that is more Mediterranean than Middle Eastern. Its ambiance and cultural heritage distance it from the rest of the country although it is actually only 225 km. from Cairo. Founded by Alexander the Great in 331 BC, Alexandria became the capital of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

Day 8: Port Said, Egypt

From Port Said at the entrance to the Suez Canal, an optional tour takes you to Egypt's capital of Cairo and the ancient monuments of Giza and the Pyramids. More than 18 million people are jammed into the teeming city split by the River Nile. At the desert's edge in Giza, the Great Pyramids of Cheops and the staring face of the Sphinx offer up a whole new perspective on eternity.

Day 9: Suez Canal Transit

Going through the Suez Canal is an incredible journey that connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Red Sea, creating a direct route between Europe and Asia. The canal is one of the world’s most significant and busiest maritime passages, cutting down travel time by avoiding the lengthy trip around Africa’s Cape of Good Hope. As ships move through the canal, they pass between vast stretches of desert, flanked by sandy banks and occasional palm trees, with a unique, almost surreal landscape. For many mariners, it's both a breathtaking experience and a reminder of how this engineering marvel transformed global trade.

Day 10: 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 revitalizing spa (Royal Clipper only), and a peaceful library.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
