MSC Sinfonia will sail weekly from Piraeus, with seven-night itineraries that include visits to Corfu and a variety of Mediterranean destinations, including Izmir and Istanbul in Turkey and Bari in Italy.
This development is in line with the country's five-year tourism development plan, which aims to expand the tourist season throughout the year, capitalizing on Greece's rich cultural heritage, diverse natural landscapes and mild winter climate to attract more visitors. outside the peak season.
At the same time, Piraeus' role as a port of embarkation enhances the wider tourism and economic impact on the region, as international visitors will arrive on flights to Greece and many of them will extend their holidays, with pre- or post-cruise stays in Greek resorts and cities .
During both the summer and winter seasons, MSC Cruises offers over 40 different shore excursions to all Greek destinations visited by its cruise ships, using exclusively local suppliers and partnering for tours, tickets and visits with Greek companies.
