Star Flyer, Authentic Greek Escape ex Athens Return

7 Night Cruise sailing from Athens roundtrip aboard Star Flyer.

Highlights of this cruise:

Athens
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.

Fethiye, Turkiye
Surrounded by forested hills and turquoise bays, Fethiye is a vibrant gateway to Turkiye’s Turquoise Coast. The town combines ancient history with a relaxed modern atmosphere, where cafés overlook the marina and life flows at a gentle pace. Passengers can stroll along the waterfront, wander through Paspatur, Fethiye’s old town, with its narrow streets lined with shops, cafes, and small stalls selling textiles, souvenirs, spices, fresh produce, and local handicrafts, or visit the impressive Lycian rock tombs carved into the cliffs above the town. Fethiye is also an ideal starting point for discovery, with nearby highlights such as the abandoned village of Kayakoy, scenic boat trips along the coast, and the world-famous Blue Lagoon of Oludeniz.

Astypalea, Greece
Shaped like a butterfly in the Aegean Sea, the island of Astypalea remains wonderfully authentic. White houses cascade down from the hilltop castle to the harbour, where life moves at a calm and steady pace. You could explore a secluded beach, wander through quiet streets, or relax in a taverna where the locals are happy to share their stories. The island’s tranquil charm invites quiet discovery, from secluded coves and crystal-clear waters to tavernas serving freshly caught seafood and locally produced honey. Astypalea offers a genuine insight into what the Greek islands were like in the past: peaceful, unspoilt and extremely welcoming. It’s a destination that captures the essence of the Aegean, where time seems to drift gently by.

Monemvasia, Greece
From the shore, it’s a big rock sticking out into the sea. Then you pass over the causeway, and through an iron fortress gate, and suddenly, the town of Monemvasia is before you, a perfectly preserved Byzantine fortified port, once 60,000 strong, now home to just a few hundred. You can readily see why the name Monemvasia means single entrance! In the rocky hills above, ancient Byzantine ruins loom over the town, while below a maze of red tiled roofs and twisting alleys hide tavernas and cafes and the home of revered Greek poet Yannis Ritsos.
