Igoumenitsa to Brindisi is one of the classic Adriatic crossings between Greece and Italy, operated by Grimaldi Lines. The passage takes between six and a half and eight hours depending on the sailing, so it can be done as a daytime crossing or overnight. Fares start around €29 for deck passage, and the ships take cars, campervans and motorbikes as well as foot passengers.

Brindisi is a working port city in Puglia, on Italy's Adriatic heel, and historically the end of the Roman Appian Way. The Roman columns marking that end stand near the waterfront, a short walk from the harbour. It is a modest place rather than a polished tourist city, but it has been the shortest crossing point to Greece for a very long time and has good rail links north and west.

The route runs roughly twice a day across the season, which makes it one of the more flexible Italy links. The current timetable and fares are shown below. From Igoumenitsa there are frequent onward ferries to Corfu, and the mainland road network runs east into Epirus and south towards Preveza and the Ionian.

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. Compare options at Discover Cars.

Tips for the Igoumenitsa to Brindisi 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.
  • If you are flexible on timing, the first sailing of the day is often less crowded than mid-morning departures on popular routes.
  • Charging sockets are available in the seating areas of most modern ferries; older vessels may have limited outlets, so charge your devices before boarding.
