Sun-Drenched Plinth – Syros, Mykonos & Venice

About this cruise

A week or so at sea, a few great ports, and nothing to organise once you're on board. This 7-night sailing from Ancona on September 25, 2026 visits Venice, Kotor, Mykonos and Syros. The mix of 4 days ashore and 2 at sea means you won't feel like you need a holiday from your holiday. The route threads through 3 countries along the Eastern Mediterranean coast: Italy, Montenegro and Greece. Of the stops, Kotor tends to be the one people talk about: A fjord hidden in the Montenegrin mountains. With about 8 hours at each port, you'll want a plan, or at least a shortlist. MSC Lirica has 5 restaurants on board, which means you could eat somewhere different nearly every night. Ancona itself is worth spending some time in. Don't just treat it as a departure point. And September is a good call. Still warm, less crowded, and usually cheaper too. Sometimes the best trips are the ones you just go ahead and book.
