Following the recent attacks in Istanbul and other parts of Turkey on the 10th, which have put authorities on high alert and raised concerns about risks to public safety, Costa Cruises has decided to modify the itinerary of the Costa neoClassica, replacing the port of Istanbul with Athens.
Athens thus becomes the first and last stop on the itinerary, with immediate effect and until the end of the season.
The security alerts mentioned are especially directed at Istanbul, specifically in the vicinity of public transport, police stations and in general in all the most frequented areas of the city.
Costa Cruises believes that the aforementioned situation, which is beyond its control, does not allow it to offer the appropriate levels of security that are an essential requirement for enjoying a safe and pleasant stay in Istanbul.
