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 October 31, 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. Piraeus (Athens) alone is worth the trip, The Acropolis beckons from the harbour. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. Worth booking. That's the short version.
