Cruise Description

7 night cruise departing from Istanbul to Athens onboard Star Flyer.

Highlights of this cruise:

Istanbul, Turkey
Throughout thousands of years Istanbul's geographical position has maintained its importance. Today it is a huge metropolis connecting continents, cultures and religions and is home to eleven million people and one of the greatest business and cultural centres of the region.

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

Ouranoupoli, Greece
Ouranoupoli is a tranquil Greek village located at the gateway to Mount Athos on the Halkidiki peninsula. Known for its stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters, it offers a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views of the Aegean Sea. Visitors can explore the Byzantine Tower of Ouranoupoli, stroll along charming streets, and enjoy fresh seafood at local tavernas, all while experiencing the area’s rich history and serene beauty.

Poros, Greece
Poros, sometimes called Kavalria, is very close to the Argolid peninsula. It is home to the Greek Naval Academy and visitors can hear 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 Asclepia (or Asclepian Games), a competition in honour of the physician god Asclepius. It served as a model for many other Greek theatres...

Athens (Piraeus), 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.
