Greek Island Escape – Athens, Santorini & Corfu

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on August 18, 2026 visits Katakolon, Kefalonia, Corfu, Bari and Santorini. 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. Bari alone is worth the trip, Puglia's salty, sun-bleached harbour town. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia keeps you well fed. 4 places to eat, with 4 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 Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. The timing works well too: warm evenings on deck, late sunsets, and a lively atmosphere. Worth booking. That's the short version.
