Ferries to Ancona
Ancona ferries connect Italy with Croatia, Albania, Greece, Ionian Islands & Hvar Island with crossings available to Split & Zadar (in Croatia), Durres (in Albania), Patras & Igoumenitsa (in Greece), Corfu (in the Ionian Islands) & Stari Grad (in Hvar Island). Ancona Ferry crossings are operated by SNAV, Adria Ferries, Minoan Lines, Jadrolinija & Anek Superfast, and depending on the time of year you’ll find a choice of up to 11 ferry crossings daily.

If you don't get an e-ticket you will have to print your ticket. To get your ticket printed make sure you have a print out or a copy of your reservation on your phone and a valid form of photographic ID - for example your passport or ID card.

Ancona is most popular in the summer but good weather normally lasts until the end of September and the first weeks of October. There are also plenty of places to visit in the winter.

You can travel to Ancona from this mainland port:

• Patras

  Runs all year. About 8 hours and thirty minutes with a conventional ferry.

• On foot:

  Please arrive at least three hour before you travel.

• By car:

  Please arrive at least three hours before you travel and in July and August allow for traffic jams on your journey.

Yes, you can take your dog or other pet on the ferry but it isn't possible to book a space in the kennel in advance. All Greek ships by law must have some kennel space.

• On conventional ferries
  If you are travelling on conventional ferry (not a fast ferry or catamaran) there is normally space available in the kennels and you should also be able to have your dog on all deck areas (but not inside) with you. Strictly speaking, this at the discretion of the ferry company but in general you should have no issues - though please take a muzzle with you just in case and keep your dog on a leash at all times. Small sized dogs and cats can travel in the ship as long as they stay inside a special travel box.

  The other option, for absolute peace of mind, is to book a pet cabin. These are like normal cabins but have linoleum flooring. They are also available for day crossings at reasonable prices. This way you don't have to worry about finding space in the kennels and you and your dog or cat can relax. In July and August ferries can get very busy with people and other dogs.

• On fast ferries or catamarans
  Fast ferries and catamarans will also have kennels but these will be limited in number. In addition, the majority of fast ferries (though there are exceptions) don't have open deck space accessible throughout the journey, so you will not be able to stay out with your pet during your crossing. However, if your pet is small and inside a travel box you will be able to keep him or her inside.

Our tips to get a cheap ticket to Ancona:

• Book in advance
