Ferries to Corfu
Taking the ferry is a very popular way to reach Corfu. Kerkyra is different from other islands because it has many ferry connections to Italy: Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice which makes it popular with Italian tourist and a first stop for many with motor homes on extended holidays in Greece.

Corfu is served by Anek Superfast, European Seaways, Grimaldi Lines and Ventouris Ferries companies.

Route: Igoumenitsa to Corfu:
Average one-way cost per person travelling on foot in July: €12

ANEK Superfast and European Sealines have ticket agencies just opposite the passenger terminal on Ethnikis Antistasseos street. Easyway Travel Group is the name of the agency for European Seaways.

Grimaldi Lines has an office a little further down the same street, the name of the agency is Patras Travel Shipping Agency.

For Ventouris ferries you must head to Niakas Travel which a bit further in town.

Our tips to get a cheap ticket to Corfu:

• Book in advance.
  Prices always go up the closer you book to your departure date.
• Compare ferry companies side by side using a service like Zas Ferries.
• Travel off peak.
  The weather is good in September and in May and June so why not?
• Choose an inside cabin.
  If you care more about sleeping than the view, booking an inside cabin is always cheaper than booking a cabin with a view.

You can travel to Corfu from the mainland port of Igoumenitsa.

Corfu is most popular in the summer months 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. It is also ,worth visiting Easter, which in Corfu has a special memory.

• On foot (for domestic journeys):
  Please arrive at least one hour before you travel.
• By car (for domestic journeys):
  Please arrive at least two hours before you travel.

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.

Yes. We accept PayPal and if your debit card is issued by Visa or Mastercard then you should have no issues paying by debit card.

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.

Yes.We will give you a web page address where you just have to input your booking confirmation code. You can then either print your ticket or save it to your phone.

You can take your bike with you for free to or from Corfu, if you travel on large ships such as this from the company Anek Lines. However, on ships without a garage, bicycles are normally not allowed inside. You'll see if the ship has a garage when making your reservation. Corfu can be busy in the summer so it is a good idea to tell a member of the port staff that you have a bike in case you might need extra assistance.
