These are the sailings we recorded on this route from October 2025 to September 2026. They show what ran then, not a forecast: timetables change from year to year.
Patra to Venice is the longest scheduled ferry route out of Greece, worked by the Anek-Superfast joint venture and taking somewhere around thirty-two hours end to end. That is two nights aboard for most sailings, with the ship usually calling at Igoumenitsa and sometimes Corfu on the way north. Cabins are effectively essential on a crossing of this length, and the ships take cars, vans and motorhomes.
Venice is reached across the lagoon, with ferries berthing at the Stazione Marittima port area or nearby Tronchetto, west of the historic centre. From there it is a short hop by vaporetto or bus into the city proper, for St Mark's Square, the Doge's Palace and the Grand Canal. Arriving by sea gives you a view of the city that no train or plane can match.
Sailings run about twice a fortnight, so this is a route to plan around rather than improvise. The current timetable and fares are shown below. If the dates do not fit, Ancona is served far more often from Patra and puts you on the Italian rail network within a few hours of Venice.

Tips for the Patra to Venice ferry
- On high-speed catamarans, seating is assigned; on conventional ferries it is often open plan – boarding early gives you the best choice of seats.
- Sunscreen and insect repellent are both considerably cheaper at a supermarket before you board than at island resort shops; stock up on the mainland.
- The sirocco (southerly warm wind from North Africa) brings haze and uncomfortable heat to Greek ports in late spring and early summer; it rarely lasts more than a day or two.
