Albania crossing to Corfu (Ferry??)
Hi,
I know there was a small ferry that crossed from either Saranda or Butrint to the island of Corfu and took motorcycles on it. I just can't seem to find the info any more.
Can someone help with clarifying where when and the name of the service?

I've caught ferry's to Corfu a few time's. But not from Albania. It was as easy as catching a bus. Arive at the dock and ask someone where you get ferry ticket's. I was pointed to a row of small hut's all selling ticket's for one crossing or another. It was just a case of walking round them asking when the next ferry was leaving. In my case there was one docking. And each stall told me to go to the next one up as you will get on that crossing. For the bike and two people last year. Paid about 40 Euro's. That was just one way. The return was less as there where more ferry's in to catch. Competition must have been better.

Yep, it needs to be from Sarande Albania. Been there done that before from Greece. It sounds like you went to Ignoumenitsa rather than Patras.
