Epic Mediterranean Passage – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu
About this cruise
You sail from Piraeus (Athens) on November 2, 2026 and spend 9 nights visiting Kusadasi, Istanbul, Corfu, Bari, Trieste and Katakolon. It's a well-tested route and there's a reason people keep booking it. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. 3 countries (Türkiye, Greece and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Fantasia. 2 restaurants come with the fare, plus 3 more when you feel like treating yourself. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
