A Piece of Greece, a Slice of Sicily and the Corinth Canal

Starting from
Complimentary All-In Package

PIRAEUS, ATHENS → BARCELONA
8 Nights on Star Legend
Discover Italy and Greece at their best, when towns and beaches are less crowded and the weather is just right for strolling historic ruins. Feast your eyes on the smooth bone-white columns of Athens’ Parthenon, and the honeycombed spires of Barcelona’s Sagrada Família. Inhale the aroma of wild rosemary and thyme mingled with fresh-baked guttiau bread in Cagliari. In Messina, watch as the bell tower clock’s bronze characters come to life, announcing noon with a lion’s fierce roar and a rooster’s loud crow. Enjoy the sweet sound of Argostoli’s street musicians playing kantades. And discover Delphi, where oracles channeled the prophecies of Apollo to kings. On this voyage, you’ll visit ports like Itea, reserved for yachts; in Trapani, you'll dock closer to key attractions than larger ships can; and you'll cross the Corinth Canal, too narrow for modern ships, but just wide enough for your yacht. Transit through the Corinth Canal is subject to local conditions and may occasionally be impacted by closures due to natural causes or construction activity beyond Windstar’s control. Should a closure occur, the itinerary will be updated accordingly, and booked guests will be notified as soon as information becomes available.





Popular Highlights
Find artifacts dating back to the Nuragic Age at Cagliari’s Museo Archeologico Nazionale.
Look for the caretta-caretta turtles in the Argostoli harbor.
Tour Old Town Corfu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Transit the narrow Corinth Canal, so close you can almost reach out and touch the walls.
Marvel at the hardworking 17th-century windmills of Trapani and the salt marshes producing the Mediterranean’s signature colored salts.
From Messina watch Mount Etna lazily smoking in the distance.
Additional Information

With 3,000 years of history, you can't turn around in Athens without encountering the past. The Acropolis, a UNESCO site, the Plaka, and the Acropolis Museum are must-sees. But leave time if you can to climb Pnyx Hill for photos of the Parthenon at sunset, to buy your own set of Greek komboloi (worry beads), and to explore the metro stations that serve as mini-museums for the relics that are constantly being unearthed.

You'll want to be on deck today as we transit the narrow Corinth Canal with other private yachts and Greek mail steamers. It's a shortcut reserved for petite ships like ours, and as we cruise between the narrow limestone walls we are the envy of all the ancient Romans who once portaged their ships along this very route before there was a canal. Transit through the Corinth Canal is subject to local conditions and may occasionally be impacted by closures due to natural causes or construction activity beyond Windstar’s control. Should a closure occur, the itinerary will be updated accordingly, and booked guests will be notified as soon as information becomes available.

Before there were fortune cookies there was the oracle of Delphi, dating back to 1400 B.C. The oracle gave cryptic guidance to the leaders of the day and was so highly respected that Delphi, now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, became known as the center of the world. An optional tour lets you go exploring, from the Temple of Apollo to the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which contains some of the finest works of art in Greece.

At once ancient and contemporary, Trapani is a city of contrasts. From the salt marshes that produce much of the Mediterranean's signature colored salts, to the intricate mosaics of Mozia and the famous wines of Marsala, to the best view in all of Sicily from the medieval hill town of Erice where the colorful gardens are rivaled only by the cannolis for pure sensory delight. The line of 17th century windmills, still hard at work in ancient Phoenician salt marshes beckons you to return to Trapani again and again.
