Igoumenitsa sits on the Ionian coast of Epirus, in Greece's north-west corner, and its ferry terminal is one of the country's busiest gateways to Italy. Bari, on the Adriatic side of Puglia, is the mirror image at the other end: a working port city rather than a resort, with the crossing berths a short walk from the old town. This is a proper open-sea passage rather than a hop between islands, and most people book it to bring a car or motorbike across rather than to travel on foot. Operators file their timetables in stages through the year, so later months on this page may show as not yet published even in season -- check the schedule box above for the latest confirmed dates rather than assuming the route ends when today's table runs out.
At the height of summer you can expect several sailings a day, dropping back to a leaner, still daily, service either side of the peak. Departures are timed so that a good stretch of the crossing happens overnight, which suits anyone who would rather sleep through open water than watch it.
