There are a number of cruises from Barcelona that include stops in Athens, Greece (to be completely accurate, at the port of Piraeus on the southwest side of the Athens metropolitan area). Some of these cruises terminate in Greece, allowing you to begin a tour of this scenic, historic country. Piraeus is about 1700 miles by sea from Barcelona, so these cruises are on the longer side.
