Your Aegean odyssey aboard Wind Star blends ancient with modern in a kaleidoscope of discoveries both mythic and epic... Go back in time in Greece, seeing antiquities in Athens and Ancient Corinth that reflect Greek glory at the height of power... sail to islands steeped in legend, lore and sunshine... Mykonos, playground of the rich, Delos, holy still, Santorini, eye-candy perfect, and Rhodes, always a-glitter... and chart a course for Turkey, stopping in Bodrum dressed in wonders, strolling the storied streets of Ephesus, preserving its past prosperity, and immersing in Turkish delights in Istanbul, straddling Asia and Europe with a rich identity all its own.

2. ACROPOLIS AND THE ACROPOLIS MUSEUM One of the best-known ruins in the world, the remains of the Acropolis, Athens’ central citadel, reign over the city in ancient splendor, aptly reflecting “the glory that was Greece.” Your hotel near the Acropolis is perfectly located for an early morning walking tour that avoids the crowds found later in the day. Sightseeing also includes a guided tour of the Acropolis Museum, a towering modern work of concrete and glass with a direct view of the Parthenon. Spend the rest of the day as you wish in Athens, perhaps on the Grand Promenade, a pedestrian paradise built for the 2004 Olympics. Not far from your hotel, the walkway is lined on one side with classical antiquities and on the other with modern cafés, mansions, and art galleries. Meals B
