Day 1: Piraeus (Port of Athens), Greece | Embark

Strolling through the Agora beneath the Acropolis, you can almost hear Plato, Socrates, and Aristotle debating their philosophical legacies. As the birthplace of democracy and the heart of Western civilization, ancient Athens remains timeless. Its port, Piraeus, lies just 15 km from the city center and 45 km from the airport.

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 and a peaceful library.

Day 3: 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 savor 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 4: Bodrum, Turkey

Bodrum is a coastal town in Turkey's Aegean region, renowned for its unique blend of culture, history, and natural beauty. Once known as Halicarnassus, home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, its ruins are only partially visible today. Nevertheless, they offer a fascinating insight into the history of the region.

Day 5: Dalyan River, Turkey

At first glance, this is a picture one hardly expects to see in Turkey - A lovely, unspoiled lake teeming with fish, a lush, marshy delta, verdant farmlands, a lazy, reed-fringed river meandering into the sea. On shore, you can see ruins of the Lycian city of Caunos, basilica, and fortifications looming over the green marsh where endangered Caretta loggerhead turtles hatch in the spring.

Day 6: Santorini, Greece

Perched on the caldera cliffs, this volcanic island offers breathtaking panoramic views, whitewashed houses with blue roofs, and picturesque cobbled streets. Explore the charming villages of Oia and Fira, relax on unique black or red sand beaches, and enjoy exquisite local cuisine accompanied by renowned wines—a truly photogenic island with a reputation to match.

Day 7: Hydra, Greece

Hydra is a town of stately mansions built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. There are no cars, so you have to ride a donkey to the top to get a spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
