Ferry from Bari (Italy) to Igoumenitsa

Bari to Igoumenitsa is one of the workhorse Adriatic crossings, run by the Anek-Superfast joint venture and Ventouris Ferries, the latter with the Rigel V and Rigel VII. Depending on the ship and the routing, the passage takes between about ten hours and a little under thirteen. Most departures are timed to run overnight, and cabins, reclining seats and deck space are all sold, along with vehicle decks that carry a heavy volume of freight.

Igoumenitsa is a working port city on the Epirus coast rather than a destination in itself, and the harbour sits right in the town centre, which makes onward connections simple. It is one of Greece's busiest international ferry ports, with local boats to Corfu and Paxi leaving from the same waterfront. From here the road runs east into Epirus and south towards the rest of the mainland.

Services run roughly twice a day across the season, so there is usually something most days. The current timetable and prices are shown below. If you are driving on to the Peloponnese, compare this with the direct Bari to Patra sailings, which save a long day on the road.

Hiring a car

Is it worth renting a car in Igoumenitsa?

Igoumenitsa is mostly a transit port for Corfu and Italy ferries, and car rental agencies cluster right around the harbour, often cheaper than picking one up on Corfu itself. If you're heading into Epirus, to Ioannina or Zagori's stone villages, a car is essential since public transport there is thin; for a straight crossing to Corfu, many go on foot and rent on arrival instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Bari to Igoumenitsa ferry

• Wind on open deck is a reliable form of air conditioning in summer – many Greeks head straight to the deck rather than the air-conditioned saloon.
• Most ferries have a small kiosk selling souvenirs, snacks, and basic travel items; useful if you have forgotten sunscreen or earplugs.
• Igoumenitsa serves as the main ferry port for the Epirus region of northwest Greece, a short drive from the extraordinary site of ancient Dodona – home to one of the oldest oracles in the ancient world and a well-preserved theatre. The nearby Vikos Gorge in the Zagori region, one of the deepest gorges in the world, draws hikers from across Europe.
