8 Nights on Star Legend
From the remote ancient monasteries to the warm waters of little-known beaches, this Greece cruise of Roman forums, royal tombs, and rustic countryside cuisine explores northern Greece and western Turkey. Spend an exclusive evening savoring a dinner on Harbor Street outside Ephesus. Wander between the broken columns of Philippi outside Kavala and explore the ancient forum, theater, and basilicas. Lose yourself in Thessaloniki's royal tombs, Byzantine fortifications, and early gold jewelry prior to an evening of grilled meats and regional wines during an overnight port stay. Witness the contrasts of sweeping summit views and cloistered monastic life inside Medieval monasteries perched atop Meteora's formidable rock formations. Seek out the thematic backdrops on Skopelos, or escape inland on a forested hiking tour of forgotten flagstone roads and trickling natural springs.

Evening in Ephesus
Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime experience after hours during this Evening in Ephesus event, exclusive to Windstar guests on this and other select voyages. Enjoy a 5-course, white-glove-service dinner under the stars accompanied by a trio from the Aegean Chamber Orchestra, set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Odeon in Ephesus. Surround yourself in the magic of these ancient ruins and delight in every detail.
Please note: This Destination Discovery Event: Evening in Ephesus has been scheduled so you can enjoy another shore excursion earlier in the day without missing a moment of the evening.
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.
Few places offer such a rich combination of history and scenic beauty. In Ephesus, one of the greatest outdoor museums in the world, you'll explore legendary sites steeped in history. Also visit the houses of Bulbul Mountain, where the roof of one forms the terrace of the next. This evening we present our Destination Discovery Event -- dinner in the moonlight and a concert near the Celsus Library or on Harbour Street in ancient Ephesus.
