About Igoumenitsa
Igoumenitsa is a port with a town attached rather than the other way round. Nobody holidays here. What it has is geography: the shortest sea crossing between Greece and Italy, and the mainland gate to Corfu, which is barely an hour and a half offshore. Both of those are worth more than a promenade.
