Corfu to Brindisi is the shortest of the Greece to Italy crossings, run by Grimaldi Lines and taking around five and a half hours. Fares start around €30, and the ships carry vehicles as well as foot passengers. Being a daytime-length passage, it can be done without a cabin, though the ferry usually forms part of a longer sailing that has come up from Igoumenitsa.
Brindisi is a working port city in Puglia, historically the end point of the Roman Appian Way, and the columns marking that end still stand near the waterfront. It is a modest place rather than a showpiece, but it has long been the natural landing point for anyone crossing from Greece. Trains run north up the Adriatic coast and west across to Taranto and Naples.
Sailings run a few times a week in season rather than daily. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Bari and Ancona are the other options from Corfu, both longer at sea but more frequent, and all three services also call at Igoumenitsa on the mainland.

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 Brindisi ferry
- On a rough crossing, the best strategy is to fix your gaze on the horizon, breathe slowly, and avoid reading or looking at screens.
- Gangways on older vessels can be steep and narrow – wheeled suitcases are harder to manage than backpacks on these boarding ramps.
- Some overnight ferry routes have a departure time late enough (22:00 or later) that you can have dinner in Athens or Thessaloniki and still make the sailing.
- Greek ferries are generally safe and well-maintained; life jacket locations are posted throughout the vessel and a safety briefing sheet is usually displayed in cabins.
