7 nights - Summertime in the Eastern Mediterranean - from/to Heraklion
About this cruise
By August 21, 2026 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Heraklion, visiting Kefalonia, Piraeus (Athens), Mykonos and Bodrum, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. Whitewashed Cycladic villages one day, busy bazaars the next. Very different moods, same cruise. You get around 12 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on Mein Schiff 5. 8 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
