About the Patras – Bari crossing
One departure a day at 17:30, timetabled at 1,020 minutes. That is the return half of the Italy–Greece corridor: where the southbound service from Bari offers two sailings a day, this direction lists one, leaving Patras in the early evening.
Seventeen hours, minus the clock change
Italy runs an hour behind Greece, so a passage measured clock to clock reads longer than the time actually spent at sea. On a crossing of this length the difference is worth knowing before you plan a connection at Bari.
An evening departure lands you in the morning
Leaving at half past five puts the whole of the night at sea and delivers a daytime arrival in Italy. For drivers continuing north through Europe that is the useful shape — the ferry replaces a night in a hotel as much as a stretch of road.
Fares and what they include
Tickets start around €55. Deck passage is the cheapest option on this corridor and cabins are priced separately; vehicles are charged by size on top of the passenger fare.
