Route guide

A convenient summer ferry directly to Corfu

Bari–Corfu removes the mainland Greece transfer required when travelling via Igoumenitsa. For motorists taking a car to the island, that can make the seasonal direct ferry especially attractive.

Superfast and Ventouris both publish Corfu within their 2026 Bari programmes, but Corfu calls are not present on every departure and may be revised during the season.

If your dates do not match a direct sailing, Bari–Igoumenitsa followed by a local ferry to Corfu is the most obvious alternative.

If you are connecting to accommodation, another ferry or ground transport, leave a sensible margin after the scheduled arrival. Weather, port traffic and boarding operations can occasionally affect the final timing.

Where more than one operator serves Bari to Corfu, compare the current timetable and ticket conditions as well as price; a nearby departure can sometimes offer a better overall fit.

Arrive directly on the island

A car gives easy access from Corfu Town to Paleokastritsa, the north coast and the southern beaches. Foot passengers can use buses, taxis or accommodation transfers after arrival.

Because the international route is seasonal, keep Bari–Igoumenitsa plus a local Corfu connection in mind as a backup.
