Mediterranean Magic – Istanbul, Corfu & Bari

About this cruise

This one leaves Piraeus (Athens) on February 1, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. With 4 port days and 2 at sea, there's room for each stop to breathe. 3 countries (Türkiye, Greece and Italy) across the Eastern Mediterranean, each with its own character. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, You won't go hungry on MSC Lirica. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. The timing adds to it: swapping cold weather for sunshine and sea air is the whole pitch for a winter cruise. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
