This is the long haul from the Italian heel down to the northern Peloponnese, operated by the Anek-Superfast joint venture. The crossing takes around seventeen to eighteen hours, which means one full night aboard and a good part of a day, so a cabin is worth the money. Ships on this route are large conventional ferries carrying cars, campervans and freight alongside foot passengers.
Patra is Greece's third-largest city and its principal gateway port to Italy, with the modern terminal sitting below the hilltop castle and the neoclassical old town nearby. It is a working port city rather than a holiday one, though the Roman Odeon, the castle and the city's well-known carnival give it more than most transit towns. Athens is a straightforward drive or bus ride away on the motorway.
Departures run close to daily in season, thinning out in winter, and the current timetable and fares appear in the table below. Most sailings call at Igoumenitsa and often Corfu on the way, so if the Peloponnese is not your destination you can step off earlier without changing ships.

Can you rent a car in Patra?
Yes, the port is within walking distance of Patra's city centre, and rental agencies line the streets around it, making pickup easy whether you're arriving off an overnight ferry from Italy or heading onward. Patra itself is walkable, but a car is useful if you're continuing into the Peloponnese rather than catching a connecting bus or train. Compare prices at Discover Cars.
