Itinerary



Day 1 - Day 1 Piraeus (Port of Athens), 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. Piraeus is the port of Athens, just 15km from the city and 45km from the airport.
Day 2 - Day 2 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 revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library.
Day 3 - Day 3 Pighadia - Karpathos, Greece
 Framed by rugged mountains and sparkling seas, the town of Karpathos - once known as Pigadia - welcomes passengers with authentic Dodecanese charm. The harbour is lined with colourful fishing boats, waterfront cafés, and tavernas where the scent of grilled seafood fills the air. Passengers can stroll through the narrow streets of the old quarter, discover local crafts, or simply enjoy the tranquil rhythm of island life. Nearby beaches shimmer with clear blue water, perfect for a refreshing swim. In Karpathos, simplicity is part of the charm, everything feels close, easy, and warmly familiar from the moment you arrive.
Day 4 - Day 4 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 savour 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 and seaside relaxation.
Day 5 - Day 5 Morning sailing through Samos Strait & Kusadasi, Türkiye (Optional Tour Ephesus)
 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.

Alternatively, you can wander the interior areas of the ship and discover relaxing lounges, a revitalising spa (Royal Clipper only) and a peaceful library. Kusadasi is a lively seaside resort, and above all the main access point to the famous archaeological site of Ephesus. Extensive excavations have revealed an Ionian city through which visitors can wander. Among the best-preserved ruins are the Theatre, Hadrian's Gate, the Library of Celsus, the Street of the Curetes, Trajan's Fountain and the Odeon, giving visitors the chance to immerse themselves in this bygone civilisation.

Day 7 - Day 7 Gavrio - Andros, Greece
 The small port of Gavrio welcomes you to the island of Andros with its calm way of life. This small harbour is surrounded by gentle hills and the scent of the sea. Although Gavrio itself has little more than a few cafés and seaside tavernas, it is the perfect place to explore the natural beauty and tranquil soul of Andros. Beyond the port, excursions lead to landscapes of stone villages, green valleys and long, windswept beaches. The island's main town, also called Andros, lies on the opposite side of the island, an hour's drive from the port, and is a graceful settlement of neoclassical houses, leafy squares, and art galleries.
Day 8 - Day 8 Piraeus (Port of Athens), Greece
