8 Nights on Star Legend

Savor extra time to soak up sun-kissed Italian beaches, stroll through charming vineyards, and savor local cuisine with a shortcut through the Corinth Canal—a passage reserved for small ships like ours. Wander the imposing fortifications and archeological revelations of the 15th century Castello Aragonese, then explore countless ancient Greek and Roman relics at a Taranto museum. Drift silently on a small boat into the turquoise glow of Sicily's famous Blue Grotto. Taste rich red wines adjacent to flourishing vineyards growing on the slopes of Mount Etna above Giardini Naxos. Check cruise dates for additional days, stops, and excursions, including the Temple of Apollo in the ruins of Delphi, a speedboat getaway from Fiskardo to remote Kephalonia beaches, and a stop at the walled town of Italy's Gallipoli, where you can master fine dining details of Puglia's cuisine from an expert chef.

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. Canal transit time and duration is subject to change based on traffic and canal authorities.
