Echoes of Byzantium – Athens, Corfu & Bari
About this cruise
By December 22, 2027 you'll be ready for this. 7 nights out of Istanbul, visiting Corfu, Bari, Piraeus (Athens) and Izmir, and nothing on the agenda except showing up. It splits nicely: 4 days seeing places and 2 days doing nothing at all. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Greece, Italy and Türkiye. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Orchestra has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. While everyone else deals with the December cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. 7 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
