Sarah-Jane has lived in Croatia for 10+ years. SJ, as she is known, has been traveling the Balkans & beyond since 2000. She now shares her passion for traveling with her husband & kids.

Looking to explore the beautiful landscapes and vibrant cultures of Italy and Greece in one unforgettable trip? Well, you’re in luck! Forget the hassles of airports and security lines because you can hop on a ferry ride and sail across the Ionian Sea between these two incredible destinations.

In this guide, we’ll dive into the nitty-gritty details of ferry travel from Italy to Greece.  We’ve got the lowdown on the best ferry companies like ANEK Lines, the most scenic routes, and the top options for both the Greek mainland and the enchanting Greek islands.

Whether you’re planning a day trip or an overnight adventure, I have the details you need. So, if you’re wondering about the best way to embark on this exciting ferry trip, look no further. Let’s set sail and discover the wonders of Italy and Greece by ferry!

Skip Ahead To My Advice Here!

Ferries Between The Ports Of Ancona & Igoumenitsa

Ancona is situated on the Adriatic Sea and is a large port. There are several daily crossings over to Igoumenitsa on the west coast of Greece.

Anek Superfast and Minoan Lines operate crossings daily, with around 1-3 services depending upon the time of year. The first ferry leaves in the early afternoon and another late in the evening, with a ferry duration of around 16-21 hours.

There is also a return ferry from the ports of Igoumenitsa to Ancona daily.

Book your ferries in Greece here.

Ferries between ancona & the port of patras.

The port of Ancona also offers ferries over to Greece to Patras Port via Anek Superfast, with two departures daily, leaving in the afternoon. The journey takes 21 to 24 hours, and it’s a good idea to book a cabin with a bed so you can get some sleep on this very long journey.

Previously, Minoan Lines offered this service, too, but this is no longer the case for 2023.

Brands We Use And Trust

Ferries between venice & greece (patras & igoumenitsa).

There are three weekly ferry crossings from Venice to Greece, to Patras and Igoumenitsa. Anek Superfast ferries serve this route, which takes around 26 hours to Igoumenitsa and 33 hours to Patras on the overnight ferry. However, the service to Patras does stop at Igoumenitsa.

Again, it’s best to book a sleeper cabin to get some rest en route.

Ferries Between Bari & Igoumenitsa

Bari is located in the south of Italy, and there are regular Italy-to-Greece ferries (port of Igoumenitsa). Both Anek Superfast and Ventouris Ferries run this route with 1-3 crossings daily, depending upon the time of year. Ferries leave late in the evening or around midnight, so booking a sleeper cabin is recommended.

The journey takes anywhere between eight hours to eleven and a half hours, yet many amenities are on board to make your trip more enjoyable.

Find a ferry company here.

Ferries between bari & patras.

In 2023, there will be a once-daily crossing between Bari and Patras, which takes 16.5 hours. Anek Superfast will serve this.

Check ferry prices here.

Ferries between brindisi & greece (igoumenitsa & patras).

Choosing to take the ferry from Brindisi has one major plus point – it is the closest port to Greece, so journey times are shorter, at around 8 hours. Grimaldi Lines offers services to both Igoumenitsa and Patras. There is one daily crossing to Igoumenitsa and up to three weekly to Patras, depending upon the time of year.

Due to the decreased distance, this is also the cheapest of the ferries from Italy to Greece.

Ferries Between Italy & The Ionian Islands

It is possible to take the ferry from Italy to Corfu and Kefalonia in around 8 hours during the peak summer months only.

Minoan Lines offers four weekly crossings from Ancona to Corfu, taking anything between 15 and 20 hours. You can also travel from Bari to Corfu with both Anek Superfast and Ventouris Ferries in around 10 hours, with seven crossings per week.

There are services from Brindisi to Corfu three times per week with Grimaldi Lines, with a journey time of around 8 hours. Alternatively, you can travel from Venice to Corfu once weekly with a 25-hour crossing time.

Ferry crossings between Bari and Kefalonia are available between July and August only with Ventouris Ferries and takes around 18 hours.

Brindisi (Salentino: Brìnnisi ) is a medium-sized city of Apulia , southern Italy . It is the third largest city of Salento Peninsula (the "heel" of the Italian "boot") and one of the busiest ports of the Adriatic Sea.

Understand [ edit ]

History [ edit ].

The city was founded by the Messapians, a population of Illyrian origin, with the name of Brunda , meaning "deer's head". This name is due to the natural harbor which resembles the shape of the animal's antlers. The city assumed the name of Brention and then Brentèsion in Ancient Greek, to be later called Brundisium after the conquest by the Romans in 267 BC.

Brundisium reached a population of 100,000 and became the main commercial port of the Roman Empire , with heavy traffic towards Greece and the Middle East that continues today. The city was connected with Rome by the Via Traiana and the Via Appia , whose terminus is still visible today. Virgil died here on September 21 of 19 BC, after a voyage to Greece, where he caught a fever.

Brindisi's golden age ended in the early Middle Ages with invasions by the Ostrogoths, Lombards and Saracens that destroyed the city several times. It was later rebuilt and annexed by the Normans to the Kingdom of Sicily in 1130 and became one the major ports for the Crusaders headed to Holy Land . The town was dominated by Swabian, Angevin, Aragonese, Venetian, Spanish and Austrian kingdoms, and then ruled by the Bourbons from 1735 to 1860.

After Italian unification — and especially with the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 — a new positive period started for Brindisi. Between September 1943 and February 1944 the city functioned as the temporary government seat of Italy, and hosted King Victor Emmanuel III, Pietro Badoglio and a part of the Italian armed forces command in September 1943 after the armistice with Italy.

Climate [ edit ]

Brindisi enjoys a Mediterranean climate. Summers are hot and sometimes humid with abundant sunshine. During spring and autumn, Sirocco winds can bring thunderstorms, occasionally dropping red sand from the Sahara in the region. Winters are mild with frequent rain; snow is quite rare.

By boat [ edit ]

Ferries to Brindisi are available from Greece ( Corfu , Igoumenitsa , Cephalonia , Zante , Patras ) and Turkey ( Cesme ). Visit www.Ferries.gr and search through all ferry schedules to/from Brindisi.

Also Albania is well connected to the city, with ferries from Vlore , managed by Skenderbeg Lines.

To get to the ferry terminal, the bus line "AP" regularly runs from the front entrance of the railway station ("Piazza Crispi - Stazione FF. SS.") to the ferry terminal ("Costa Morena"). A ticket is €1.10 (on-board €2.00).

Apart from being a ferry port Brindisi is also home to the United Nations logistics base (UNLB). The base provides resources logistic support, telecommunications and training opportunity for all peacekeeping operations around the world.

By train [ edit ]

The main cities of northern Italy are not directly connected to this station and a change in Bologna will be necessary. Here you can take a Frecciabianca train to reach Brindisi in 6¾ hours, with a cost comprised between €40 and €60. From Taranto it is possible to take a regional train to arrive in the town in 1¼ hr spending €5. From Lecce you can choose between regional trains, that take about ½ hr (€2.8) or Frecciabianca (€9.9), reaching Brindisi in just 15 minutes. Visit the site of Trenitalia for more info.

By car [ edit ]

Get around [ edit ].

Surrounding areas, such as beaches to the north, are best reached by car.

On foot [ edit ]

As the city center area is not so large, a bit over a kilometer from the train station to the Roman Columns, most of the sights in the city center can be seen in an afternoon on foot. Because of many military facilities in the surroundings of Brindisi, areas north or south of the city center are not easy (or very pleasant) to reach on foot. For most things outside of the center, it is better to take a bus or rent a car.

See [ edit ]

• 40.641143 17.946825 2 Roman columns ( Colonne romane ), Via Colonne, 53 . A symbol of Brindisi, they were thought to mark the termination of the Appian Way, but probably they only had a celebrative purpose. Only one of the two, standing at 18.74 meters (61.5 ft), is still visible, since the other one crumbled in 1528, and the ruins were donated to the city of Lecce to hold the statue of its patron Saint Oronzo. They were built during the 2nd century AD, with a Corinthian capital. ( updated Jul 2018 )

Do [ edit ]

Buy [ edit ].

For fruits and vegetables, there is a market area in the city center at the appropriately named " Piazza mercato ", open every day except Saturday.

There are many clothing and specialty shops in the center.

During the off-season, many shops will close for a period in the early afternoon (around 1PM to 4PM), similar to the midday closures for siesta in many parts of Spain. This is also the case for many other cities in the region.

Eat [ edit ]

Restaurants will have many common items of Apulian cuisine. Famous pasta styles include spaghetti alle vongole and orechiette con cime di rapa.

Locals speak highly of the seafood in the area.

Towns and cities in Puglia

Brindisi, puglia.

For most people visiting Puglia, Brindisi is merely a point of arrival and departure, thanks to its being home to one of Puglia’s two main airports . But if you're staying in the area, or are looking for somewhere to spend a few hours before catching your flight home, Brindisi is worth a visit. Like many of the other towns on Puglia’s Adriatic coast, Brindisi’s history is inextricably linked to the lands that lie across the sea to the east.

Thanks to its large natural harbour, the city has always been, and continues to be, one of Italy’s most important ports.

Today it is the major departure point for car ferries loaded with tourists heading to Greece and the Balkans, but during Greek and in particular Roman times and in the Middle Ages, it served other purposes. The Romans, who took the town from the Greeks in the middle of the 3rd century BC, set about maximising the town’s potential. Two columns (one of which still remains above the port) were erected to identify Brundisium as the end of the Appian Way, a road which had been built to facilitate the movement of goods and troops between the centre of the empire and the east Mediterranean. With the constant comings and goings of legions, the navy and trade ships, Brindisi quickly grew in size and soon had a population of some 100,000. With the fall of the Roman Empire, Brindisi passed into the hands of the Ostrogoths, the Byzantines, the Lombards, the Saracens and then the Normans, who arrived in 1070. It was during their rule that the Crusades began leaving from Brindisi, and in 1228 Emperor Frederick II Stupor Mundi chose the town as his port of departure for the successful Sixth Crusade, during which he reclaimed Jerusalem for the Christian world. Badly bombed during the Second World War, Brindisi spent many years rebuilding, and, especially in the last decade, the city has undergone a significant makeover. The centre is home to wide, palm-tree lined boulevards, a revamped seafront promenade with restaurants and bars, a great many winding streets, some fine Baroque churches (including the cathedral) and, last but not least, the mightily impressive fortress built by… yes, you guessed it… Emperor Frederick II! So, if you have a few hours to spare, why not make a visit to Italy's gateway to the east?
