Short Ocean Escape – Piraeus (Athens), Chania & Tunis
About this cruise
This is the kind of trip that just works. 4 nights from Piraeus (Athens), visiting Souda (Chania), La Goulette (Tunis) and Palermo, sailing November 5, 2027, and nothing about it feels forced. You finish in Palermo. There's a new port nearly every day, 3 days ashore total, so you're kept busy. The Western Mediterranean route takes in Greece, Tunisia and Italy, 3 countries, and the differences show up in the food, the architecture, and the mood. Most ports give you about 8 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. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. You'll probably start planning the next one before this one's even over.
