Where to take the ferry from Igoumenitsa to Brindisi

How to get to the port of Igoumenitsa

• By car: from Ioannina, Thessaloniki and northern Greece, take the Egnatia Odos A2/E90 motorway, which ends near the port. From Preveza and destinations further south, follow the E55 coastal road. From Athens, take the A5/Ionia Odos motorway and continue towards Preveza and Igoumenitsa.
• By bus: KTEL Thesprotia intercity buses connect Igoumenitsa with Athens, Thessaloniki, Ioannina and other destinations in Epirus.
• By train: Igoumenitsa does not have a train station and cannot be reached directly by train. If you're traveling by train to Athens or Thessaloniki, you'll need to continue to Igoumenitsa by KTEL bus.
• By plane: the closest airport is Ioannina Airport, around 80 km from the port. If you're continuing by public transport, you'll need to reach the KTEL bus station in Ioannina and take a bus to Igoumenitsa. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or rent a car.

Where does the ferry arrive in Brindisi?

Ferries from Igoumenitsa arrive at the Costa Morena terminal, located in Brindisi's mainly industrial port area.

Note: the docking point may occasionally change for operational reasons. We therefore recommend always checking the terminal information on your ticket before traveling.
