Glittering Odysseys – Athens, Corfu & Bari

About this cruise

7 nights, 4 ports, all from Istanbul on February 17, 2027. The route visits Corfu, Bari, Piraeus (Athens) and Izmir and the whole thing just flows. 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 9 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. While everyone else deals with the February cold, you'll be somewhere warmer. And floating. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
