Corfu to Ancona is a long Adriatic crossing served by the Anek-Superfast joint venture and Grimaldi Lines, taking between roughly seventeen and eighteen and a half hours. That means an overnight voyage up the length of the sea, with cabins, restaurants and vehicle decks aboard. Fares start around €75, reflecting the distance rather than any premium on the service.
Ancona is a working port city on Italy's Adriatic coast, in the Marche, and is chiefly a gateway rather than a stop in itself. The Arch of Trajan stands near the harbour and the cathedral of San Ciriaco sits on the headland above. Motorway and rail connections run north towards Bologna and Venice and south down the coast towards Puglia.
Sailings run roughly every other day in season. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Bari and Brindisi are the shorter crossings from Corfu if you would rather cut the time at sea, though they land you further south in Italy.

Hiring a car
Is it worth hiring a car in Corfu?
Yes, particularly if you want to reach beaches and villages away from the main resorts, since the island is one of the largest Ionian islands and buses and taxis only cover the popular routes well. Terrain is hilly in places, so a car with reasonable power helps, and petrol stations thin out in rural areas, so fill up when you can. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Corfu to Ancona ferry
- July and August are the busiest months on almost every Greek ferry route; expect crowded vessels, longer boarding queues, and higher prices.
- Even in July, the open deck at 03:00 can be surprisingly cool due to sea spray and wind – bring a light sleeping bag or a large travel blanket.
- A portable power bank is one of the most useful things to carry – reliable mains power is not guaranteed on any vessel.
- Carry a smaller day bag separately from your main luggage: this holds your passport, wallet, phone, charger, sunscreen, and anything else you need during the crossing.
- Most island ports are within walking distance of the main village or town – a 5–10 minute walk with luggage is usually manageable.
Plan a journey
Search for a connection between any two Greek ports, including journeys that need a change.
