7 days, round-trip Eastern Mediterranean from Athens

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 5, 2026 visits Valletta, Catania, Taranto, Kefalonia and Mykonos. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. 3 countries (Malta, Italy and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Don't rush through Taranto, which is known as City of two seas and Spartan roots. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Costa Fascinosa carries up to 3,014 guests over 13 decks. Multiple pools, a theatre, and more restaurants than you'll get through. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All told, 5 ports across 7 nights covers a lot.
