Mediterranean Marvels – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu
About this cruise
A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on November 16, 2026 visits 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. Keep an eye out for Bari: Puglia's salty, sun-bleached harbour town. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. MSC Orchestra 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 November is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. That's 7 nights well spent.
