These are the sailings we recorded on this route from November 2025 to October 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
This is the direct link from Bari to Kefalonia, run by the Anek-Superfast joint venture and by Ventouris Ferries with the Rigel VII. It is a long crossing, in the region of fifteen to eighteen hours, and most sailings call at Igoumenitsa or Corfu on the way south, which accounts for the spread in journey times. Book a cabin if you can, as this is a full overnight passage with a good part of the next day at sea.
Sami is Kefalonia's main ferry port, a relaxed harbour town on the island's east coast backed by green hills and largely rebuilt after the 1953 earthquake. The Melissani and Drogarati caves are close by and are the usual first stop for arrivals with a car. From Sami there are onward boats to Patra and across to Ithaca, and roads over the island to Argostoli and the west-coast beaches.
The route runs roughly daily at the height of the season and much less often outside it, so check dates carefully before committing. If nothing suits, sailing to Patra and taking the domestic boat across to Sami is the usual alternative.

- If you are comparing ferry versus flying between islands, factor in port transfer times at each end – ferries are often more time-efficient for short hops.
- When the vessel is manoeuvring into port, crew will announce boarding locations over the PA system; listen for instructions on which gangway to use.
