5 days, one-way from Istanbul to Piraeus-Athens
About this cruise
Book 5 days off from October 31, 2027 and this cruise from Istanbul will do the rest, taking you to Izmir, Volos, Santorini, Nafplio and Piraeus (Athens) and back. Last stop: Piraeus (Athens). 5 consecutive port days with no time at sea. It's an explore-everything kind of trip. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Of the stops, Piraeus (Athens) tends to be the one people talk about: The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Pacifica carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. Istanbul itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
