Sami to Bari is the long international run from Kefalonia across the Ionian and up the Adriatic to Italy, taking anywhere from about thirteen to seventeen hours depending on the sailing and the routing. Anek-Superfast and Ventouris Ferries both work the line, with the Rigel VII among the vessels. This is an overnight-scale crossing, so cabins and reclining seats matter more than deck space, and fares start around €76.
Bari is a large port city in Puglia, with a working ferry terminal and a historic old town, Bari Vecchia, close by. The Basilica di San Nicola and the narrow lanes of the old quarter are within reach of the harbour on foot. It is one of Italy's biggest passenger ports, well connected onward by rail and road.
Sailings run most days in the summer season, and the current timetable and fares are shown below. Take a passport or ID card and allow proper check-in time, as this is an international departure rather than a domestic hop. Sami is Kefalonia's main port, so it also connects to Patra and Ithaca if you need to reposition first.

Tips for the Sami to Bari ferry
- The pet area on most ferries is outside, on the lower vehicle deck, which can be hot in summer – check the weather before booking a pet on a summer sailing.
- When booking a multi-island itinerary, save a PDF or screenshot of each confirmation; email may not load reliably when you are at a small island port.
- The meltemi typically peaks in the afternoons and can create significant swell; afternoon departures from exposed ports are more likely to be rough.
