Short Ocean Escape – Catania, Taranto & Argostoli (Kefallinia)
About this cruise
4 nights from Catania, visiting Taranto, Kefalonia, Mykonos and Piraeus (Athens). It sails September 5, 2026 and it's the sort of trip where you come back saying "I needed that." Disembarkation is in Piraeus (Athens). No sea days at all on this one. 4 ports, one after another. Pack accordingly. Ancient temples, white-and-blue Greek islands, and warm Aegean water. Hard to argue with. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Taranto, City of two seas and Spartan roots. Around 9 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. At 113,321 gross tons, Costa Fascinosa is big enough that you can find a quiet corner or a crowd, depending on your mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. The autumn timing is underrated too. Good weather, calmer seas, and a more relaxed ship. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
