Aegean Odyssey – Rhodes & Santorini

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Istanbul on October 29, 2027 visits Kusadasi, Bodrum, Rhodes, Santorini, Souda (Chania) and Piraeus (Athens) and doesn't try to cram in too much. You finish in Piraeus (Athens). A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. Rhodes alone is worth the trip, Medieval knights and Aegean light. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. Rhapsody Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. This length suits most people. Enough time to settle in and actually unwind, without the trip dragging on. If you can, add a night in Istanbul before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
