Legendary Coastlines – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 9-night round-trip sailing from Trieste on August 28, 2026 visits Katakolon, Piraeus (Athens), Kusadasi, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 6 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Greece to Italy. Bari stands out. It's Puglia's salty, sun-bleached harbour town. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. And August means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. All in all, it's a solid trip.
