Short Ocean Escape – Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon (Olympia) & Argostoli (Kefallinia)

About this cruise

A lot can happen in 4 nights. This sailing from Piraeus (Athens) on October 17, 2028 visits Katakolon, Kefalonia, Corfu and Bari and makes every day count. Disembarkation is in Bari. 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 Kefalonia, Captain Corelli's turquoise paradise. Around 10 hours per port on average, which is generous enough to go beyond the obvious. MSC Orchestra keeps you well fed. 5 places to eat, with 3 included in the fare and a few specialty spots if you're in the mood. Families and groups will find plenty to do: waterslides, shows, multiple pools, and something for every age. If you can, add a night in Piraeus (Athens) before boarding. It's a good city to wander. 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.
