Mediterranean Magic – Mykonos, Kusadasi & Santorini

About this cruise

This one leaves Piraeus (Athens) on October 8, 2027 and spends 7 nights visiting Mykonos, Istanbul, Kusadasi and Santorini 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. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Rhapsody Of The Seas takes the food seriously, with 8 restaurants to choose from. 3 are included, and the rest are worth the splurge. The sweet spot for most travellers: you get to know the ship, see the ports, and come home before the laundry piles up. Pro tip: fly in the day before. Piraeus (Athens) has plenty to offer, and you'll board relaxed instead of rushed. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Whether you've cruised before or not, this 7-night itinerary is a genuinely good one.
