Ferry from Igoumenitsa to Lefkimi (Corfu)

Igoumenitsa to Lefkimi is the short southern crossing to Corfu, run by Lefkimmi Lines and taking around fifty minutes. It is a workaday car ferry route rather than a scenic cruise, cutting straight across the channel from the Epirus mainland to the bottom end of the island. For drivers heading to southern Corfu it saves a long haul back down the island from Corfu Town.

Lefkimi sits at the southern tip of Corfu and is a quieter, less touristy corner of the island than the town or the northern resorts. The port itself is functional, and Lefkimi is a small working town rather than a resort. It works best as a landing point for the south end of the island, with the beaches around Kavos and Agios Georgios not far away.

This is a frequent service, running several times a day in both directions throughout the year. The current timetable and fares are shown below. Igoumenitsa is also the departure point for the busier Corfu Town crossings and for international sailings to Italy, so it is easy to combine.

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 Lefkimi 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.
• High-speed services between the Cyclades often run reduced frequencies in spring and autumn compared to July and August; check the actual timetable.
• A Force 6 wind produces wave heights of 2–3 metres; even passengers who do not normally feel seasick may be affected in these conditions.
