Balkan Bastions – Kotor, Mykonos & Syros

About this cruise

7 nights, 4 ports, all from Ancona on October 16, 2026. The route visits Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros and the whole thing just flows. The pace is well balanced: 2 sea days mixed in so there's no rush between stops. 3 countries (Italy, Montenegro and Greece) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. 8 hours ashore per call. Enough for the highlights, not enough for a nap. When you're not ashore, You won't go hungry on MSC Lirica. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. An October sailing dodges the peak crowds while the weather is still cooperating. Well timed. If you've been thinking about a cruise, this 7-night sailing is a strong place to start.
