Tips for the Igoumenitsa–Corfu Ferry
- Keep medicines – including seasickness tablets and any prescription drugs – in your day bag rather than in hold luggage, so you can reach them easily during the crossing.
- The Piraeus Metro station sits roughly a 10-minute walk from the main ferry gates; a wheeled bag will serve you far better than a heavy backpack along this stretch.
- For up-to-date sea conditions, the Poseidon forecast at hcmr.gr gives detailed wave height and period data across all Greek sea areas before you travel.
- Luggage can be stowed in the overhead racks in the seating areas or along the corridors – there is no formal left-luggage service on board.
- Once you reach Corfu, the UNESCO-listed Old Town is well worth exploring: Venetian-era fortresses, elegant arcaded streets, and the celebrated Liston promenade await, along with excellent snorkelling and diving in the reefs of the Ionian Sea.
