Mediterranean Marvels – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

About this cruise

No complicated itinerary, no back-to-back transfers, just the ports, the ship, and the sea in between. This 7-night sailing from Bari on February 28, 2026 visits Piraeus (Athens), Izmir, Istanbul and Corfu. A few ports come in quick succession, which is great for sightseeing but means you'll appreciate the sea days when they arrive. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. Keep an eye out for Corfu: Venetian elegance in an emerald setting. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Lirica. 4 restaurants come with the fare, plus 1 more when you feel like treating yourself. A February sailing is basically an excuse to chase the sun for a week or two. That's 7 nights well spent.
