Sun-Bleached Columns – Athens, Santorini & Corfu

About this cruise

Long enough to properly switch off but not so long you need to reorganise your entire life. This 7-night round-trip sailing from Bari on October 16, 2027 visits Santorini, Piraeus (Athens), Katakolon, Kefalonia and Corfu. Expect a run of consecutive ports, 5 stops total, with the busiest days packed close together. The sea days around them feel earned. A lot of Western civilisation started around here, and the views haven't changed much since. If one port sticks with you, it'll probably be Katakolon, Gateway to ancient Olympia. Roughly 10 hours ashore per stop. No need to rush. You won't go hungry on MSC Orchestra. 3 restaurants come with the fare, plus 2 more when you feel like treating yourself. And October is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. It's the kind of trip you actually remember afterwards.
