Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Athens

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Bari on May 9, 2026 visits Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. Keep an eye out for Kefalonia: Captain Corelli's turquoise paradise. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Sinfonia has 4 dining spots on board, most of them included. And May is a good time to go. Mild weather, things starting to bloom, and fewer people than summer. That's 7 nights well spent.
