This 8-night Mediterranean (Eastern) cruise aboard the Star Legend by Windstar Cruises departs Athens (Piraeus) on October 3, 2026, calling at Ephesus (Kusadasi), Kavala, Thessaloniki, and 2 more ports, and returns October 11, 2026. Cabin prices start from $4,529 per person.
Athens cruise port is in Piraeus, a busy port city about 10 kilometers southwest of central Athens. Piraeus is its own city, not just a terminal, and it handles cruise ships, island ferries, and commercial traffic all at once.
Kusadasi cruise port is Turkey's busiest and the primary gateway to Ephesus, one of the most significant ancient Greek and Roman cities in the world. The port sits on Turkey's central Aegean coast, about 95 kilometers south of Izmir, with ships docking at the Ege Ports cruise terminal right in the middle of town.
