Cross the Adriatic with your car, motorhome or as a foot passenger from Ancona, Bari or Venice to Igoumenitsa and Patras, with seasonal Corfu calls.
Choose your Italian and Greek ports, then add travel date, passengers, vehicle and accommodation to compare current sailings.
Current 2026 schedules are subject to route revisions and seasonal Corfu calls. Check the exact itinerary and ship shown for your travel date.
Superfast Ferries is the Attica Group brand most closely associated with international Italy–Greece ferry travel. Its 2026 Adriatic programme links the Italian ports of Ancona, Bari and Venice/Fusina with Igoumenitsa and Patras, while selected summer sailings also call at Corfu.
The routes are designed for passengers who want to take their own transport into Greece. Cars, motorcycles, motorhomes and caravans can cross the Adriatic while passengers use cabins, aircraft-style seats, restaurants, bars, shops and other onboard facilities.
Superfast is part of the wider Attica Group alongside Blue Star Ferries, Hellenic Seaways and Anek Lines. Those brands handle a much broader range of domestic Greek island routes; this page therefore keeps the Superfast section focused on the current Adriatic international network.
FerryEU planning note: the best Italian gateway depends on where you are driving from and where you need to reach in Greece. Compare the full road-and-sea journey, not only the ferry duration.
Superfast's 2026 passenger network is centred on Ancona, Bari and Venice/Fusina, each connecting with Igoumenitsa and Patras and using Corfu on selected summer sailings.
Ancona is a key Superfast gateway for central and northern Italy. Current 2026 schedules link it with Igoumenitsa and Patras on long overnight Adriatic sailings.
Bari gives southern-Italy travellers a shorter Adriatic approach to western Greece and is particularly useful for Igoumenitsa, Epirus and onward northern-Greece road travel.
Venice/Fusina is the northernmost Superfast gateway and can reduce the road journey for travellers approaching from north-east Italy, Austria, Slovenia and parts of central Europe.
The FerryEU map shows the three principal Italy–Greece corridors and the Greek arrival points at Igoumenitsa and Patras. Summer calls at Corfu appear on selected sailings rather than every departure.
Use the map for orientation, then verify the current itinerary. Superfast publishes revised-sailing notices when operational or weather factors alter the normal programme.
After choosing the most practical route, compare the live Superfast Ferries sailing for departure time, calling pattern, passenger requirements and the facilities or accommodation shown for that service. The complete itinerary and arrival location can matter more than a small difference in the headline fare.
Venice services use the Fusina terminal. Do not navigate to the central Venice passenger-cruise area when travelling by Superfast ferry.
All three cities lead to western Greece, but their location within Italy can change the overall drive by many hours.
Ancona is a practical gateway for central Italy and travellers approaching from Florence, Bologna, Rome and the northern Adriatic corridor.

Bari sits much further south and can make sense for travellers already in Puglia or southern Italy, particularly when Igoumenitsa is the Greek destination.

Venice/Fusina is strategically placed for travellers coming from north-east Italy, Austria and Slovenia. The ferry terminal is at Fusina, outside the historic city centre.

Superfast's Adriatic routes are particularly useful when a Greek holiday works better with your own car, motorcycle, motorhome or caravan.
Cars and motorcycles are carried on the Adriatic routes subject to correct booking details and available deck space.
Campers and caravans are accepted, but gas supplies must remain closed. Alternative-fuel vehicles must be declared when booking.
Pets require their own ticket and must be declared during booking. Pet cabins and kennels should be reserved early because capacity is limited.

Superfast's 2026 Adriatic conditions require passengers to proceed to the embarkation area at least three hours before departure.

Superfast is especially attractive when you want to reach Greece with your own transport. Driving through the Balkans can be rewarding, but an Adriatic ferry allows the vehicle to cover a large part of the journey while the driver sleeps, eats and rests.
Igoumenitsa is the natural arrival point for Epirus, Meteora, Thessaloniki and much of northern Greece. Patras is better positioned for the Peloponnese, Athens and onward domestic ferries from the Athens-region ports.
On the Italian side, Ancona often balances road and sea time, Bari suits southern approaches and Venice/Fusina can substantially reduce the drive for travellers coming from Austria, Slovenia and north-eastern Italy.
