Ferries from Corfu

Every sailing listed for Corfu arrives in the dark. Bari despatches boats at 20:00 daily, 22:00 on Sundays and 23:59 on Saturdays; Igoumenitsa at 21:30 daily and 23:59 on Sundays. The earliest departure anywhere on this sheet is eight in the evening.

Ventouris Ferries operates all five entries, within a summer window running from 1 July to 7 September. A route to Ancona is registered with Anek Lines and Superfast Ferries but carries no times, so despite the port's reputation as the Adriatic crossing point for Italy, the timetable currently holds only the Bari and Igoumenitsa legs.

Igoumenitsa is the short hop — the Greek mainland is visible across the strait — while Bari is a night at sea. Corfu Town's two Venetian fortresses, built to hold the channel between them, are a UNESCO site and a fair summary of why this island has always been approached from the water.
