Windjammer ships chartered for Caribbean sails) was wholly and privately
charted by Naked Magazine for a 7 day Kusadasi (Turkey) to Kusadasi
luxury cruise visiting Patmos, Mykonos, Pyraeus (Athens), private islandwith barbecue, Satorini and one more island (forgot) close to Patmos and
back to Kusadasi.
The luxurious tall ship, not normally chartered by
nude male clubs, actually not often chartered to anyone,
due to the prohibitive price of a private charter, with all meals,
and totally open bar with premium brands 24 hours included
by was in fact chartered (with an enormous loss -it was obvious
shared by the Nudist Club and Clipper Cruises in this venture).
This offered an unforgettable experience to passengers
and the elegant European crew - who had NEVER seen
anything like this. Who Had!
I as among the lucky few who had the 150 to 170 passenger ship
practically to myself and friends. I had gotten a special invitation by
the Magazine, who was associated to IGTA - a travel organization
I was active in, during the 1990s. As so, I "only" paid 25% of
"standard fare" though all cabins were deluxe outside cabins.
Even with the 75% discount, I paid over US$ 4,000. But my DELTA rep
(I was a trvel agent at the time lso gave me a 75% discount on the Istanbul
airfare, and upgraded to Business Class. The Delta Stytion manager in Istanbul (whom I knew from his Pan Am days - Delta's predecesor upgraded me to Premium First on the way back!
Including my Private cabin, and airfare, it was easily a $25 thou Dollar Value
Deluxe vacation for less than $4500! And I had a PRIVATE CABIN -
that alone a $ 16 or $17 thousand value on a regular sailing -
on the 30 or 35% full sailing, it was probably over a $50 thousand item.
Only a few sailed with a full crew, not even 60 of us
on board! That's NOW luxury on the Mediterranean!
Unforgettable! And for so many reasons!

Windstar Cruise Greek Islands ? Itineraries
There are generally two separate itineraries offered for a Windstar Cruise to the Greek Islands. Travel from Athens to Istanbul on a 7-day cruise with stops in Mykonos, Santorini, and Rhodes, Greece; and Bodrum and Kusadasi, Turkey. Alternatively, select the reverse route from Istanbul to Athens, also seven days in length and cruising into the same ports of call.
Windstar Cruise Greek Islands ? Points of Interest
The Greek Isles encompass an interesting variety of islands. Looking out over the sparkling waters of the Aegean is Athens, the capital of Greece. Named after the Goddess Athena, Athens is home to the splendor of ancient civilizations and the contemporary buzz of a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis.
Home to the Parthenon, the Acropolis, and the Temple of Athena Nike, among other famous landmarks, Athens is perhaps the most popular destination for travelers visiting the Greek Isles. Mykonos is also quite prominent; considered a popular vacation destination for the international jet set crowd and home to hundreds of white-washed churches, thatched windmills, gorgeous beaches, and a flourishing nightlife.
Santorini is flanked by towering volcanic cliffs, while figs, wheat, and citrus fruits grow on the plains of Rhodes. Istanbul is home to Topkapi Palace, the mausoleums of Suleiman the Magnificent, a robust spice trade, and Aya Sofya, built in 537 A.D. and considered by many to be one the world?s greatest churches. There is much to see and do on a Windstar Cruise to the Greek Islands; this is merely a representative sampling of the major points of interest.
Windstar Cruise Greek Islands ? Shore Excursions
Shore excursions are varied and exciting on a Windstar Cruise to the Greek Islands. Relax and rejuvenate in the Turkish Baths or head to an exclusive beach club in Kusadasi and take a dip in the Aegean Sea. Dine at Ta Kioupia in Rhodes; opened in 1972, this restaurant has been named one of the ten best in the world. Board a gulet, a 45-foot wooden sailboat indigenous to Bodrum, and enjoy traditional cuisine, chilled white wine, and a swim in the Aegean.
Go volcano hiking in Santorini and then immerse yourself in the thermal waters of Palea Kameni, the natural sulfur springs. Tour the museums, the wineries, the beautiful towns of the Greek Islands, and see for yourself why a Windstar Cruise to the Greek Islands is the ideal vacation for the discerning traveler.
