Ocean Discovery – Piraeus (Athens), Mykonos & Kusadasi (Ephesus)

About this cruise

This is the kind of cruise where you actually have time to go back to a port highlight you missed the first time. 31 nights from Piraeus (Athens) on August 26, 2028, visiting Mykonos, Kusadasi and Souda (Chania), with additional stops along the Western Mediterranean. You get off in Trieste, which is a good excuse to tack on a few days on land. The itinerary clusters several port calls together. Fast-paced for a few days, then the sea days hit and you can catch your breath. The route threads through 8 countries along the Western Mediterranean coast: Greece, Türkiye, Montenegro, Malta, Spain, France, Italy and Croatia. You get around 10 hours in each port, which is enough for an excursion, lunch, and some wandering around on your own. When you're not ashore, Enchanted Princess has 13 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Longer sailings have a different energy. People relax into it, stop rushing, and start actually talking to each other. An August departure puts you in the best summer conditions: long days, warm nights, plenty of sun. 31 nights of not thinking about anything except where to eat next. That's the pitch.
