Greek Island Escape – Santorini & Corfu

About this cruise

If you want the classic cruise without a massive time commitment, this is a strong option. 7 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on August 25, 2026, visiting Katakolon, Kefalonia, Corfu, Bari and Santorini. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 10 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, 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. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. It's peak season, so the weather is at its best and the ship will be full. That's part of the fun. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
