Reaching Greece by sea
The ferry is the most practical way to reach Greece with your car or motorhome, without driving through the Balkans. Crossings range from about seven hours from Brindisi to more than a day from Venice, with cabins and catering on overnight crossings.
Departures are from Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice, to Igoumenitsa, Patras and Corfu. Igoumenitsa serves north-western Greece, Patras the Peloponnese and Athens, and Corfu the island of the same name.
