Route guide

Plan your ferry from Igoumenitsa to Brindisi

The Igoumenitsa to Brindisi crossing links Igoumenitsa in Greece with Brindisi 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, Brindisi is your arrival port. Central Brindisi is easy to walk, with rail and road connections useful for Lecce, Ostuni and the wider Salento region.

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

Passengers, vehicles and the fare

Select the correct passenger category before comparing Igoumenitsa to Brindisi fares. A passenger-only boat cannot take a car, and a vehicle ferry may still have limited bicycle or foot-passenger availability. The travel modes shown in the facts panel should be checked against the specific sailing.

For a vehicle booking, give the full height and length including a roof box, rear rack or trailer. Where accommodation is offered, check whether a cabin or seat is required and whether meals are included. Request mobility assistance and any pet space before completing the booking, because these can have separate capacity limits.

Prices depend on the date, passenger mix, vehicle and ticket conditions. Compare the complete return cost and the amendment or cancellation terms. No fixed fare on this guide should replace a dated quote.
