Useful Resources for Your Greek Island Trip

The last known sailing on this route was on 22 September 2026.

No timetable beyond that date has been published yet. Greek operators often release the next season’s schedules only a few months ahead, so this can be a seasonal pause rather than the end of the route. Check whether it is currently available to book through Ferryscanner.

Historically, this route ran about 1 sailings a day in August 2026, about 0.7 sailings a day in September 2026.

Frikes to Vassiliki takes about an hour with Ionion P. Lines, crossing north from Ithaki to the southern coast of Lefkada. It is a short, useful hop that saves the long way round via the mainland. The boat is a small conventional ferry.

Vassiliki sits at the head of a sheltered bay and is known internationally for its thermal winds, which have made it a windsurfing and kitesurfing centre. The waterfront is lined with tavernas and the bay with board schools and rental outfits. Boat trips run from here to Porto Katsiki and Agiofili, two of Lefkada's better-known beaches.

The route runs roughly once a day and mainly in the summer months, so it needs planning around; the timetable and current fares are shown below. Lefkada is joined to the mainland by a causeway, so arriving at Vassiliki also opens up the road north towards Preveza and its airport.
