Ocean Discovery – Mykonos, Volos & Istanbul

About this cruise

8 nights is that sweet spot where you actually start to relax. This sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on May 13, 2027 visits Mykonos, Volos, Istanbul, Izmir, Santorini and Nafplio and doesn't try to cram in too much. 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 Istanbul: Where two continents embrace across the Bosphorus. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 114,500 gross tons, Costa Pacifica is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Piraeus (Athens) itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. Timing-wise, spring usually means comfortable temperatures and lower prices than peak season. That's 8 nights well spent.
