The conventional ferries serving this route offer only standard/economy seats. They are situated on deck or in internal lounges and they are not numbered, so your ticket does not correspond to a specific seat. Therefore, in order to get a comfortable one, you need to board the ferry as soon as possible, and you will have to keep an eye on your seat for the entire duration of the journey.

The port of Igoumenitsa

All ferries depart from Igoumenitsa Port, located in Epirus. Though busy, the port is relatively small, so spotting your ferry is fairly easy.

Ferries arrive at the main port of Corfu, which is about 2 kilometers from Corfu Town.

The high number of people traveling to and from Igoumenitsa may cause traffic, especially in summer. Therefore, being there at least 1 hour before the official departure time is strongly recommended.

Luggage policies in Greek ferries are quite flexible.
Most companies allow 40 kg or 0.5 cubic meters of luggage per passenger and provide a luggage storage area on each ferry. If you wish, though, you can take your luggage with you to the lounges or the deck (if available).
It is highly recommended that you leave bulky suitcases in the designated area and take only your personal belongings (wallet, keys, mobile phone, etc.) with you upstairs.

To take your car or motorbike with you to Corfu, you need to purchase a vehicle ticket.
Drivers should be at the port 1 to 1.5 hours before the official departure time.
For safety reasons, entrance to the garage is not allowed during the crossing.
Note: Many car rental companies do not allow customers to ferry their vehicles. We recommend avoiding purchasing a vehicle ticket before contacting your car rental company.

Corfu has an international airport receiving direct flights from Athens and other airports in Greece and Europe. However, compared to ferry tickets, airplane tickets tend to be more expensive. The only way to access Corfu by sea from mainland Greece is through the port of Igoumenitsa.
