10 night cruise departing from Antalya to Istanbul onboard Star Flyer.
Highlights of this cruise:
Antalya, Turkey
Framed by the soaring Taurus Mountains and the shimmering Mediterranean, Antalya is a radiant jewel of Turkiye’s southern coast. Passengers arriving here discover a perfect harmony of history, culture, and seaside beauty. The old town of Kaleici, with its winding lanes, Ottoman-era houses, and lively bazaars, invites gentle exploration, while the old port below bustles with elegant yachts and wooden gulets. Whether exploring ancient ruins, sampling local cuisine, or simply soaking in the warmth of the Turkish sun, Antalya promises unforgettable moments for every traveler. The cruise port is located 12 km west of the old town.
Kastellorizo, Greece
Tiny but utterly enchanting, Kastellorizo is Greece's easternmost island and lies close to the Turkish coast. Kastellorizo is small but full of color. Its harbor glows with pastel houses mirrored in the water, and the sound of waves replaces the rush of time. Stroll along the seafront promenade, where fishing boats bob beside elegant neoclassical houses, or relax at a café beneath flowering bougainvillea. Kastellorizo reminds you how peaceful isolation can feel when beauty is everywhere around you.
Symi, Greece
One of the most elegant harbours in the Dodecanese, Symi enchants with pastel-coloured neoclassical houses rising steeply above the bay. Approaching Symi by sea is like arriving in a painting. Neoclassical houses climb up the hillsides in shades of ochre and blue, while fishing boats sway gently in the harbor below. The pace of life is unhurried: a stroll through the harbor, a swim in clear water, a quiet meal overlooking the bay. Symi’s charm lies in its simplicity, a small island that seems to exist outside of time. For those wishing to explore further, an optional excursion to the Monastery of Panormitis, dedicated to Saint Michael and located on the island’s western coast, is available at an additional cost. Surrounded by cypress trees and sea views, it is one of the most revered pilgrimage sites in the Aegean. Peaceful, colourful, and full of grace, Symi is pure Greek beauty.
Bozcaada, Turkey
Bozcaada has resisted the temptation to become overwhelmed with the usual tourist trappings. If you venture aware from it's glorious uncrowded sandy beaches, you will find yourself wandering around it's ancient cobbled streets, lined with quaint rustic homes adorned with gorgeous flora and fauna. Stop off for refreshments in one of it's many traditional tavernas under the grapevines or visit one of the six wineries on the island. After the tour you can shop next door and enjoy tasting wine samples.
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.
