In Superfast’s dated sailing search, enter Patras as the starting port. On a service via Igoumenitsa, that port has its own later boarding time. Using its time for a departure from Patras could mean missing the ship.
Superfast asks passengers to be at the embarkation area at least three hours ahead. If driving up from the Peloponnese, plan the road leg around that instruction. Book the full vehicle dimensions and the overnight accommodation together.
