Mediterranean Marvels – Mykonos & Istanbul

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on July 16, 2027 visits Mykonos, Kusadasi, Istanbul and Souda (Chania). Expect a run of consecutive ports, 4 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Kusadasi, Turkey's gateway to the ruins of Ephesus. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. Rhapsody Of The Seas keeps you well fed. 8 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Long enough that you stop checking your phone. Short enough that you're not bored. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. And July means long, warm days. Good for the ports, good for the pool. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
