Igoumenitsa to Corfu Ferry

The Igoumenitsa to Corfu ferry is the main link between mainland Greece and one of the most visited Ionian islands. Sailings run daily, with the number of crossings varying a great deal by season – the schedule box above shows the current range, from a lighter winter timetable to a packed summer one. Whether you are arriving by road from northern Greece or continuing on into the islands, you should have little trouble finding a sailing to suit your plans. Most crossings arrive at the main harbour in Corfu town, but the island also has a second ferry port at Lefkimi, well to the south; the two are separate places some distance apart, so it is worth double-checking which one your ticket lands you at before you travel.

Frequency climbs and falls with the season rather than staying constant, so it pays to check the current timetable close to your travel dates rather than assuming a fixed daily pattern.

Crossing times vary somewhat between operators and vessels – see the schedule box above for the current picture.

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.

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.
