Istanbul to Athens Cruise – Introduction

Pegasus Mega Yacht

A unique voyage between two of Europe’s most historic and colourful cities on a spacious and comfortable mega yacht combining the safety and comfort of a larger cruise vessel with the informality and atmosphere of a deluxe private yacht.

Our cruise starts with 2 nights in Istanbul in a 4* hotel followed by 7 nights on board the MY Pegasus, taking in historic ports along the Turkish Aegean coast as well as the Greek Islands of Patmos and Aegina before sailing into marina Zea in Athens.

There is time to do some sightseeing in Athens, before flying back to the UK in the evening, or alternatively you can extend your stay in Athens so that you can explore the sites, ancient and modern at your leisure.

The Mega Yacht Pegasus
The twin-hulled Pegasus, built in 1990, completely refitted in 1997 and interior renovated in 2002 and 2007, accommodates up to 46 guests in a relaxed, congenial atmosphere. On board, you will enjoy magnificent sea views as you stroll 2.500 square feet of open deck furnished with comfortable deckchairs or have a delightful meal al fresco. You can relax with friends in the handsomely appointed lounge, browse in the well-stocked library or enjoy ocean-view dining in the convivial and spacious restaurant area. A platform on Pegasus’ stern enables you to swim when weather and anchorage conditions permit.
