Embark Star Clipper.

A day at sea with time to relax and enjoy Star Clipper's spacious accommodation, including expansive teak decks, comfortable public rooms, and two inviting pools.

Bodrum was the site of the Mausoleum of Halikarnassus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The medieval castle of St Peter, now a museum, stands guard over the harbour. There are long, sandy beaches with clear water in Bodrum, and one of the best is along the peninsula at Torba, backed by pines and olive groves. A wide variety of excellent restaurants in and around the town offer menus to suit every taste.

Dalyan River is a beautiful and unspoilt waterway stretching from the Mediterranean to Lake Koycegiz. Peaceful villages, the Lycian rock tombs, hot sulphur pools and a breeding ground for the Caretta Caretta turtle can all be seen on a journey up-river. Dalyan town has shops, and a good selection of traditional restaurants.

The rocky island of Santorini is loved for its spellbinding views from the cliff-top towns of Fira and Oia. The Archaeology Museum displays finds from the excavation of Akrotiri, and in Fira, perhaps viisit the church of Ag Mina, the much-photographed symbol of Santorini.

Milos is the island where the Venus de Milo was discovered, and alongside many lovely beaches, it has an interesting geology, colouring the rocks shades of pink and red. The little town of Plaka is typically Greek, with narrow streets and the Kastra, the remains of an old Venetian castle. Other interesting sites include the catacombs and amphitheatre close to the isolated fishing village of Klima.

This interesting island has no roads or vehicles, a wild and sparsely populated interior and magnificent mansions, some open to visitors, and built by shipowners in the 18th century. Walk along steep donkey trails, visit one of the many monasteries, and soak in the atmosphere which attracts artists to make their homes here.
