Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Athens

About this cruise

You board in Bari on September 5, 2026 for 7 nights visiting Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu, and you come back from this kind of trip wondering why you don't do it more often. 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. Keep an eye out for Katakolon: Gateway to ancient Olympia. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Sinfonia has 4 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Bari itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. That's 7 nights well spent.
