Ocean Discovery – Izmir, Santorini & Nafplion
About this cruise
This one leaves Istanbul on May 17, 2027 and spends 6 nights visiting Izmir, Santorini, Nafplio and Piraeus (Athens) at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. Archaeological sites, ouzo by the water, and island-hopping through the Aegean. Most ports give you about 11 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, Costa Pacifica: 3,014 guests, 13 decks. Entertainment, dining, and enough space that it never feels cramped. If you like having options (restaurants, bars, activities, entertainment), a big ship delivers that. A spring departure helps too: decent weather and a calmer feel at each port. You start in Istanbul and come back with stories from Türkiye and Greece.
