Igoumenitsa to Corfu Ferry

The Igoumenitsa to Corfu ferry is the main link between mainland Greece and one of the most visited Ionian islands. Sailings run daily, with the number of crossings varying a great deal by season – the schedule box above shows the current range, from a lighter winter timetable to a packed summer one. Whether you are arriving by road from northern Greece or continuing on into the islands, you should have little trouble finding a sailing to suit your plans. Most crossings arrive at the main harbour in Corfu town, but the island also has a second ferry port at Lefkimi, well to the south; the two are separate places some distance apart, so it is worth double-checking which one your ticket lands you at before you travel.

Frequency climbs and falls with the season rather than staying constant, so it pays to check the current timetable close to your travel dates rather than assuming a fixed daily pattern.

Tips for the Igoumenitsa–Corfu Ferry

• This is a short crossing -- around 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Ferries are very frequent so you rarely need to book ahead except in peak August.
• Igoumenitsa has two separate terminals: the domestic terminal in the northern port serves Corfu and Paxos ferries, while the international terminal to the south handles Italy-bound ships. Follow signs carefully so you do not queue at the wrong one.
• If you are taking a car on the Corfu shuttle, join the vehicle queue at least 30 minutes before departure – the driver stays with the car but other passengers must get out and board separately.
• Once you arrive in Corfu, the UNESCO-listed Old Town rewards exploration with its Venetian-era fortresses, elegant arcaded streets, and the famous Liston promenade. The island's coastline offers excellent snorkelling and diving among the reefs of the Ionian Sea.

Is it worth hiring a car in Corfu?

Yes, particularly if you want to reach beaches and villages away from the main resorts, since the island is one of the largest Ionian islands and buses and taxis only cover the popular routes well. Terrain is hilly in places, so a car with reasonable power helps, and petrol stations thin out in rural areas, so fill up when you can. Compare local suppliers at Discover Cars.

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.
