DESCRIPTION:
Set a course for hidden harbours and the delights of off the beaten path Greece during a cruise to Hellenistic islands and a moonlight dinner concert in the Turkish ruins of Ephesus. Explore the colorful interior of the Cathedral of St. George atop Syros, a stately hillside landmark founded in the 1200s and continually restored after devastating battles. Listen as a moonlight concert reverberates across the ancient Celsus Library walls during your candlelight dinner in Ephesus. Drink the decadent sweetness of local Muscat wines pressed at Samos and learn about their most famous and calculating resident-the mathematician Pythagora. Wander the weathered Doric decor of the temple of Demeter prior to sampling the culinary perfection of pan-seared calamari in Naxos. Relax on the sunny and sandy expanses of the most scenic beaches in the Cyclades. Browse handmade clothing in unspoiled Folegandros and Milos-tiny island refuges yet to be found by tourists.

Visit sun-drenched places as you sail the Greek Isles, discovering a world abounding with seaside scenery and ancient treasures on cruises that Greece is best known for. On such legendary islands as Santorini and Mykonos, views of azure sea and white-washed villages will take your breath away. On your Greek islands cruise, you may embrace the magic and mythology of ancient temples built to honor Greek gods and goddesses. Visit UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as the amazing hilltop Acropolis in Athens, the haunts of St. John on the tiny island of Patmos, and the ancient Roman city of Ephesus. You may imagine you are Mark Antony, as you walk the same marble streets where the Roman general (and lover of Cleopatra) was once cheered by residents. Dine among the fascinating ruins as a complimentary treat, a Windstar-exclusive evening Destination Discovery Event planned for Ephesus.

Windstar’s Flagship Sailing Yacht

On any day, our 310-guest flagship, Wind Surf, draws admiring glances as she glides majestically into port with her tall sails billowing. And her beauty is far more than skin deep.

Starting with all new finishes and furnishings in suites and staterooms, Wind Surf renovation now brings you some of the most beautiful public spaces at sea.

During their cruise, guests will find the perfect setting for ‘making an entrance’ in the beautiful new reception area – and, appropriately, that’s only the beginning.

When you return to your stateroom, the luxury gets personal. Windstar’s signature bowls of flowers and fresh fruit will still be waiting for you, along with rich tufted headboards, soft seascape colors, beautiful new upholstery, and fine count Egyptian cotton linens welcome you to an oasis of relaxing indulgence.

Everything about Wind Surf speaks of welcome. Come aboard and see it for yourself.
