Ferries from Italy to Greece

[Chris M-C]

Are there any recommended ferries to use to cross to Greece from southern Italy? and should I book in advance, I intend to cross around the 20th May, is a weekday better than a weekend?

Hi Chris,

Superfast ferries has an offer if you book until the end of March, cost is half price of normal ticket (cost for 1 passenger - deck + motorcycle is 39 euro from Bari or Ancona to Patras or Igoumenitsa). Normally you do not need to book in advance (unless you want a cabin i think).

Cheers,
Nikos.

Two years ago I took ANEK LINES ferry from Ancona (central Italy) to Igoumenitsa in Greece...

We are travelling ,Bari-Igoumetsia 20 May . Bike 2 passengers-outside cabin.
£260.00 I e-mailed and booked direct with Superfast Ferries as the booking forms are a nightmare.

Thinking of ferry myself on a trip to Greece- Bari to Igoumenista there and Patra to Ancona on way back. Went onto Superfast site and used the 50% discount from drop down menu for a 45 Euro return - seems very cheap. Both overnight crossings, so can anyone tell me exactly what 'deck' means? ie. do you have to sit/lie on deck for journey? Are you allowed to crash-out in a sleeping bag?

Hello all
Is it safe to leave my hard luggage on the bike, in the hold of the Superfast ferry, from Ancona to Italy? Is the hold locked up during the voyage?
Thanks
Tony
