Mediterranean Marvels – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

About this cruise

The kind of trip that's easy to say yes to and hard to regret. 7 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on February 9, 2026, visiting Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari. The mix of 4 days ashore and 2 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Türkiye, Greece and Italy. Istanbul alone is worth the trip, Where two continents embrace across the Bosphorus. Roughly 9 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Piraeus (Athens) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And a February cruise to warmer water? Hard to argue with that when it's cold at home. Worth booking. That's the short version.
