Island Life Greek Isles and Ephesus | October 7 - 15, 2026

Journey to the cradle of civilization as you explore the treasures of ancient Greece and Turkey with alumni and friends from October 7 to 15, 2026. Cruise round-trip from Athens for seven nights to fabled islands aboard the specially chartered Wind Spirit, a beautiful, three-masted sailing yacht that can moor in small ports of call which are inaccessible to larger vessels.

This epic tour calls at Delos, Mykonos, Pátmos, Rhodes, Santorini, and Milos—ancient destinations steeped in myth and history. Sail Turkey’s sun‑drenched coast to visit Ephesus, the most spectacularly preserved Greco‑Roman city in the world. Behold  wonders from antiquity, from the Monastery of Saint John in Pátmos to the majestic Sacred Way in Delos—the legendary birthplace of Artemis and Apollo. 

Enjoy time on your own to explore the island of Mykonos, where according to Greek mythology, Hercules lured giants into battle and the large rock formations that remain are evidence of their defeat. Your journey concludes on the remote island of Milos, where the famous Venus de Milo statue was found.
