Adriatic & Aegean – Venice, Kotor & Mykonos

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Venice on August 21, 2027 visits Kotor, Mykonos, Syros and Ancona. There's a nice rhythm here: explore a port, recover at sea, do it again. You never feel rushed or restless. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Montenegro, Greece and Italy. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Ancona, Italy's Adriatic gateway to the Conero Riviera. With about 7 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Venice itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
