Ferry from Igoumenitsa to Ancona (Italy)

Igoumenitsa to Ancona is one of the longer crossings you'll find in this part of the Mediterranean, carrying cars, campervans, lorries and foot passengers overnight between north-western Greece and the Marche coast of Italy. It isn't a short island hop -- you board in the evening, settle into a cabin or a reclining seat, and wake up on the other side of the Adriatic the next day. Drivers heading down from northern Europe use it to skip the long road route around the Balkans, and plenty of travellers use it the other way too, continuing on from Greece into Italy by sea rather than flying.

Sailings run every day of the year, though how many depart on a given date shifts with the season, so it's worth checking the schedule box above and the monthly table below before you fix your dates. Through the summer you'll generally find a choice of departure times; outside peak season it settles down to a single daily crossing, and it's sensible to book a little further ahead, especially if you're travelling with a vehicle.

Hiring a car

Is it worth renting a car in Igoumenitsa?

Igoumenitsa is mostly a transit port for Corfu and Italy ferries, and car rental agencies cluster right around the harbour, often cheaper than picking one up on Corfu itself. If you're heading into Epirus, to Ioannina or Zagori's stone villages, a car is essential since public transport there is thin; for a straight crossing to Corfu, many go on foot and rent on arrival instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tips for the Igoumenitsa to Ancona ferry

• Igoumenitsa has two separate terminals: the domestic terminal in the northern port serves Corfu and Paxos ferries, while the international terminal to the south handles Italy-bound ships. Follow signs carefully so you do not queue at the wrong one.
• If you are taking a car on the Corfu shuttle, join the vehicle queue at least 30 minutes before departure – the driver stays with the car but other passengers must get out and board separately.
• You can buy tickets for the Corfu crossing on the day from agencies at the port, such as Milano Travel and Euroline Shipping, near the domestic terminal – with 20+ daily departures there is usually no need to book ahead.
• When the vessel is manoeuvring into port, crew will announce boarding locations over the PA system; listen for instructions on which gangway to use.
• Earplugs are essential for overnight ferry crossings – engines, announcements, and other passengers ensure the ambient noise level never fully drops.
