Timeless Mediterranean – Athens, Istanbul & Corfu

About this cruise

This one leaves Trieste on September 24, 2026 and spends 9 nights visiting Katakolon, Piraeus (Athens), Izmir, Istanbul, Corfu and Bari at a pace where every day has something going on but there's always time to just sit and watch the water too. There's a stretch of back-to-back port days, so those days are busy, but the sea days around them give you time to recharge. It's a proper Eastern Mediterranean tour: 3 countries, from Greece to Italy. Most ports give you about 9 hours, so you can do more than just tick off the main sights. As for the ship itself, From casual buffets to proper sit-down restaurants, MSC Fantasia has 5 dining spots on board, most of them included. Being shoulder season helps: golden light, comfortable weather, and shorter queues at the popular spots. Hard to ask for much more than that, honestly.
