Pissaetos to Patra Route Map
Pissaetos to Patra takes close to four hours on the Kefalonia with Levante Ferries, running south from Ithaki down the Ionian to the Gulf of Patras. It is the long way to the mainland compared with the Astakos crossings, but it lands you in a city rather than a village. Fares start around €15.
Patra is Greece's third-largest city and one of its major ferry ports, with the terminal below the hilltop castle and the neoclassical old town nearby. It is a working port city with a lively centre, a university and a well-known carnival, rather than a beach destination. International ferries to Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice leave from here.
The service runs about once a day, so it pays to fix the timing early; the current timetable and fares are shown below. Patra has good road connections to Athens and the rest of the Peloponnese, which makes this a practical way to end an Ionian trip.

Hiring a car
Can you rent a car in Patra?
Yes, the port is within walking distance of Patra's city centre, and rental agencies line the streets around it, making pickup easy whether you're arriving off an overnight ferry from Italy or heading onward. Patra itself is walkable, but a car is useful if you're continuing into the Peloponnese rather than catching a connecting bus or train. Compare prices at Discover Cars.
