Dear Star Clippers' Friend,
In 2027, Star Clippers introduces a new way to explore Turkey by small ship. Sailing between Istanbul and Antalya, the 11-night Turkish Treasures itinerary traces the country's Aegean and Mediterranean coasts, pairing ancient sites with relaxed seaside towns and ports best approached from the water.
Each day brings a new place to explore. In Dikili, step ashore near the ruins of Pergamon, once the capital of the Attalid dynasty. From Datça, visit Knidos, founded in the 7th century BCE and known for its theaters, temples, and city walls overlooking the sea. In Kaş, a glass bottom boat reveals the sunken remains of Kekova, submerged after an earthquake nearly two thousand years ago.
The itinerary also highlights Turkey's contemporary coastal life. Çeşme offers a graceful mix of historic streets, thermal springs, and beaches. Fethiye invites time along its lively waterfront and markets. Across the Aegean in Greece, Samos provides a gentle counterpoint, where fishing boats and yachts line a harbor edged with waterside cafés.
