Katakolon Emerges as Marella's Alternative to Santorini in Mediterranean Cruises
Marella Cruises has positioned Katakolon, a seaside town on Greece's western Peloponnese coast, as an alternative to Santorini on its seven-night Mediterranean itineraries. The destination offers lower prices than tourist hotspots, with local beer costing €3 and half liter of house wine €4.50, plus access to Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games. The "Greek Mystique" round cruise from Dubrovnik on Marella Explorer 2 starts from £1,316 per person, with TUI Airways flights from London Gatwick departing October 15, 2026, included.
