Route guide

Plan your ferry from Igoumenitsa to Ancona

The Igoumenitsa to Ancona crossing links Igoumenitsa in Greece with Ancona in Italy.

For a departure from Igoumenitsa, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Igoumenitsa is mainland Greece’s principal north-west ferry gateway. The Egnatia Odos motorway gives fast onward access towards Ioannina, Thessaloniki and northern Greece, while roads south lead towards Parga and Preveza.

On the other side of the crossing, Ancona is your arrival port. Ancona’s centre is compact but hilly, with buses and rail useful for connecting the port to the wider Marche region.

Compare the Igoumenitsa departure and Ancona arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Igoumenitsa to Ancona result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Ancona may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
