Venice is the longest of the Italian gateways to Greece, and the run down the length of the Adriatic to Igoumenitsa takes around twenty-six to twenty-seven hours on the Anek-Superfast joint venture ships. That means two nights aboard for most departures, so a cabin rather than a deck ticket makes sense. The ships are large conventional ferries with restaurants, bars and full vehicle decks.
Igoumenitsa is a functional port city on the Epirus coast, the capital of Thesprotia, with the harbour sitting right in the town centre. It is a transport hub rather than a destination, and most arrivals move straight on: local boats run to Corfu and Paxi from the same waterfront, and the road east climbs into Epirus towards Ioannina. It is one of Greece's busiest international ferry ports.
Departures are only a couple of times a week, so this route needs planning well ahead, and fares start around €116 for a foot passenger. The current schedule and prices are listed below. If the timing or the price does not work, Ancona is roughly ten hours' drive south of Venice and offers considerably more frequent sailings to the same port.

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.

Tips for the Venice to Igoumenitsa ferry
- Avoid heavy meals immediately before boarding if you are prone to seasickness; a light snack is fine but a full taverna lunch is not ideal.
- On conventional ferries, the centre of the vessel at the waterline is the most stable point; if you feel unwell, move there and focus on the horizon.
- 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.
