Overview

Set sail on a seven-night voyage that traces the legendary route between two of the Mediterranean's most captivating cities. Aboard the Star Flyer, a graceful tall ship that blends classic sailing tradition with modern comfort, you'll explore corners of the Aegean that larger vessels simply can't reach.

Your journey begins in Istanbul, where East meets West in a swirl of minarets and markets. From there, the wind carries you across open water to lesser-known Turkish and Greek harbors — Dikili's ancient ruins, the volcanic landscapes of Lemnos, the monasteries clinging to Mount Athos. You'll anchor off Skopelos, where pine forests tumble down to sapphire coves, and call at Poros, a charming island town that feels like it belongs to another era.

With just 170 passengers, the Star Flyer offers the intimacy of a private yacht. Days unfold at a gentler pace — time to watch the crew set sail by hand, to swim from the ship's platform, to linger over lunch as Greek islands drift past. By the time you reach Athens, you'll have experienced the Aegean the way sailors have for centuries.
