Route guide

Plan your ferry from Sami to Bari

The Sami to Bari crossing links Sami in Greece with Bari in Italy. This route is part of the Adriatic & Ionian Sea / Italy–Greece ferry network.

For a departure from Sami, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Sami is Kefalonia’s central passenger-ferry gateway on the east coast. It provides road access toward Argostoli, the airport, Poros and the island’s main beaches and villages.

On the other side of the crossing, Bari is your arrival port. Central Bari is easy to explore on foot, while the railway makes day trips around Puglia particularly convenient.

Compare the Sami departure and Bari arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Sami to Bari 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 Bari may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
