Life is not lived if you haven't been to Rome! ### Day 2: Ponza, Italy **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM The pastel houses of Ponza Town rise in neat terraced rows from the busy harbour where sleekly groomed yachts and ramshackle fishing boats moor side by side. Happily, there are few tourists here, so it's a delight to wander through the unspoiled town. Then find yourself a private bit of beach, there are lots of them, and enjoy the feel of warm sand and cool clear water lapping your toes. ### Day 3: Amalfi,Italy **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM What is it about the Amalfi Coast that inspires such rapture? From the time of the Romans, who had grand villas here, Amalfi has been a preferred destination for the wealthy and the artistic. During the Middle Ages, Amalfi was a powerful republic of 70,000 people, rivaling nearby Ravello. For a sense of Amalfi's medieval glory, wander through the grand Duomo, containing the remains of St. Andrew. Or visit Ravello, where the annual music festival is held, or nearby Positano, said to be the most b... ### Day 4: Lipari, Italy **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Italy's seven volcanic Aeolian Islands are obviously a place favoured by the Gods. Just off the north coast of Sicily, they are a favorite destination for adventurers and visiting yachts, which anchor in the numerous little harbors indenting the coastline. In Lipari, climb narrow streets to the medieval castello, and discover a beach with the whitest, finest sands in all of Italy. ### Day 5: Syracuse, Sicily, Italy **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Syracuse is a city in New York State. It’s home to the Erie Canal Museum, tracing the waterway’s history in the 1850 Weighlock Building. In the old state armory, the Milton J. Rubenstein Museum of Science & Technology (MOST) offers interactive exhibits and a planetarium. Designed by I.M. Pei, the Everson Museum of Art focuses on American artwork. The opulent 1920s Landmark Theatre hosts Broadway hits and concerts ### Day 6: At Sea Enjoy a relaxing day at sea exploring the ship's amenities. ### Day 7: Katakolon, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Katakolo is a seaside town in the municipality of Pyrgos in western Elis, Greece. It is situated on a headland overlooking the Ionian Sea and separating the Gulf of Kyparissia from the rest of the Ionian. It is 11 km west of Pyrgos ### Day 8: Gythio, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM ### Day 9: sifnos, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Gold gave birth to Sifnos. Every year, the islanders would offer a solid gold tribute to Apollo. When they tried to substitute a fake, Apollo decreed that their rich mines would sink into the ground. Now the abandoned mines are the only reminder of Sifnos golden age. Apollonia, the little capital named after Sifnos' wrathful patron god, is now a center for folk arts, where delicate laces and distinctive island pottery are sold in the markets. Visit Panayia Chrysopyi, a 17th-century monastery pre... ### Day 10: Milos, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Milos or Melos is a volcanic Greek island in the Aegean Sea, just north of the Sea of Crete. Milos is the southwesternmost island in the Cyclades group. The Venus de Milo and the Asclepius of Milos were both found on the island, as were a Poseidon and an archaic Apollo now in Athens. ### Day 11: Hydra, Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM It looks barren and rocky, but the narrow harbor of Hydra hides a surprise, a town of stately mansions all built around 1800 by blockade runners who had made fortunes outwitting the British during the Napoleonic Wars. Many of Hydra's merchants were also celebrated naval heroes during the Greek fight for independence from Turkey in the 1820s. Another surprise is that there are no cars, so if you want to see the spectacular view from the Monastery of Ilias you'll have to ride a donkey to the top. ### Day 12: Pireaus (Athens), Greece **Arrives:** 12:00 AM · **Departs:** 12:00 AM Walking in the shadow of the Acropolis in the Agora, you can almost hear the voices of Plato, Socrates and Aristotle arguing about who was the greatest philosopher. In the soaring, subtly curved Doric columns of the Parthenon you see the masterful hand of Pericles, Athens' greatest general and builder. And in the ethereally graceful bodies of the Karyatids supporting the porch of the Erectheum, you behold the beauty of the immortals. Ancient Athens, the birthplace of democracy and epicenter of w... ## Pricing Prices shown are per person based on double occupancy in USD. | Cabin Type | Starting Price | |------------|----------------| | Pricing | Contact for latest fares | ## Ship Information ### Star Clipper ROMANCE THE WIND ABOARD A TALL SHIP.
