An 8 Night Adventure
Step aboard the majestic Star Flyer and set sail on an unforgettable journey through the sun-drenched coasts and storied ports of the Eastern Mediterranean. This 8-night voyage offers the perfect blend of luxury, adventure and old-world charm, taking you from the ancient wonders of Athens to the sparkling islands of Greece and the rich cultural landscapes of Turkey. With its traditional tall ship elegance and intimate atmosphere, Star Flyer provides a unique sailing experience that invites you to relax, explore and reconnect with the timeless beauty of the Mediterranean.
Whether you’re wandering through whitewashed villages or simply enjoying the thrill of life under sail, this cruise promises memories that will last a lifetime.
As you explore the sun-drenched coasts of Greece and Turkey, the shadow of Rome follows in your wake. In Athens, once conquered by Rome but never culturally subdued, you’ll see how Hellenic and Roman worlds are intertwined.
Along the serene Aegean shoreline, Dikili sits as a quiet town with a deep but understated connection to antiquity. Once a thriving stronghold of Classical and Roman influence, the region was deeply tied into the fabric of Roman Asia Minor. To the south, the Roman roads that once linked the Empire’s Aegean cities would have passed close to Dikili, connecting it to the grander networks of commerce, administration and culture.
This meticulously designed itinerary is brought to life by WingsItaly where unparalleled attention to detail and exceptional service redefines luxury travel. From immersive explorations of ancient Mediterranean treasures to moments of serene relaxation aboard the elegant Star Flyer, every experience is curated to exceed your expectations.

Your 8-day voyage into the ancient heart of the Eastern Mediterranean unfolds aboard the graceful and intimate Star Flyer, a true tall ship blending timeless seafaring tradition with modern luxury.
