Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Athens

About this cruise

7 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Bari on May 2, 2026 visits Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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. Of the stops, Piraeus (Athens) tends to be the one people talk about: The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Sinfonia. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 0 more when you feel like treating yourself. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
