About the Cephalonia – Bari crossing
The return leg from Sami on Cephalonia to Bari leaves at 15:00, an afternoon departure that picks up Igoumenitsa and Corfu on the way north before crossing the Adriatic overnight.
Ventouris runs it on Tuesdays, from 14 July to early September — one sailing a week. It is the only scheduled link from the southern Ionian islands to Italy; everything else means going up to Igoumenitsa or Patras first.
Deck passage is €70 in low season, €100 at the August peak; a seat €80–110, a car €80–125, and bicycles travel free. Arrival times are not published, only departures. Sami is on Cephalonia's east coast facing Ithaca, and the road to Argostoli takes about half an hour.
