Paxos to Igoumenitsa Route Map

Map of the Ionian Islands showing the ferry route north from Paxos to Igoumenitsa.

Paxi to Igoumenitsa takes an hour and a half to an hour and three quarters, with Kerkyra Lines and Kerkyra Seaways on the route and the Corfu Spirit among the vessels used. It is the direct crossing from the island to mainland Epirus, skipping Corfu altogether. Fares start around €12.80.

Igoumenitsa is a working port city rather than a destination, with the harbour sitting right in the town centre. It is one of Greece's busiest international ferry ports, with sailings to Brindisi, Bari, Ancona and Venice. The motorway east starts here, putting Ioannina, Meteora and Thessaloniki within a straightforward drive.

There are usually a couple of sailings a day in season and fewer in winter; the current timetable and fares are shown below. Since Paxi has no airport, this and the Corfu routes are the only ways off the island.

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 Paxos to Igoumenitsa ferry

  • If you are departing from a remote island port rather than the main town, confirm the location in advance – some islands have more than one port.
  • A portable power bank is one of the most useful things to carry – reliable mains power is not guaranteed on any vessel.
  • Some island routes operate a reduced winter schedule from late October to late March – always confirm the schedule before building a winter itinerary.
  • On busy summer short hops, the return sailing can fill up – book your return ticket at the same time as your outward ticket to guarantee a place.
  • Igoumenitsa serves as the main ferry port for the Epirus region of northwest Greece, a short drive from the extraordinary site of ancient Dodona – home to one of the oldest oracles in the ancient world and a well-preserved theatre. The nearby Vikos Gorge in the Zagori region, one of the deepest gorges in the world, draws hikers from across Europe.
