Imagine waking up to the iconic sight of whitewashed windmills in Mykonos, spending your afternoon wandering the volcanic cliffs of Santorini, and ending your week watching the sun set behind the majestic peaks of Mount Etna. This summer, don’t just visit Greece—experience the Mediterranean in motion. Sailing from Piraeus (Athens) between June and September 2026, the Costa Fascinosa transforms the classic island holiday into an eight-day odyssey of discovery.
A Journey of Sun, Sea, and Stars
Your adventure begins in the ancient port of Piraeus, where you will board the elegant Costa Fascinosa. The first leg of your journey is dedicated to pure relaxation with a full day at sea, allowing you to settle into the ship’s luxury before arriving in the historic walled city of La Valletta, Malta.
As night falls, the experience takes a magical turn as you navigate the Strait of Sicily. This is one of the darkest spots at sea, offering an unparalleled view of the stars before you arrive in the vibrant city of Catania. As the ship sets sail from Sicily, you will be treated to the exclusive Etna Skyline experience. From the deck, you can admire the volcano’s silhouette while savoring authentic Sicilian flavors and wine drawn straight from the barrel.
The voyage continues toward the charming coastal beauty of Taranto and the lush, turquoise waters of Argostoli in Kefallonia. Your final stop brings you to the glamorous shores of Mykonos, where you can explore the narrow marble streets before making your grand return to Athens.
Experience the Mediterranean, Near and Far
Costa’s unique Sea & Land Destinations are designed to connect you deeply with the places you visit, both from the water and on the ground. When the ship nears the coast of Sicily, you won’t just pass by; you’ll celebrate the Etna Skyline right from the deck. Imagine sipping wine drawn straight from the barrel and savoring authentic Sicilian panelle as the volcano towers over the waves, all accompanied by the island’s “slow rhythm” and live music.
For those who crave adventure on solid ground, the Lunar Walk excursion offers a perspective like no other. You can step off the ship and onto another world, climbing across the red rocks and black, stratified lava of Mount Etna. It is a striking, otherworldly contrast to the shimmering blue waters of the Aegean that adds a truly distinctive value to your journey.
