Best time to take the ferry from Bari to Igoumenitsa

Ferry or flight from Bari to Igoumenitsa?

Ferry versus plane between Bari and Igoumenitsa comes down to time, luggage and the view: the ferry has the deck, the luggage and the town-centre arrival; the plane has speed. On this route the ferry is the option Haqqi Tours recommends first for families and anyone with a car.

Return ferry from Igoumenitsa to Bari

We book the return crossing from Igoumenitsa to Bari just as easily, generally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Bari to Igoumenitsa cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Bari to Igoumenitsa?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours offers the current cost for your dates and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - in a few minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is frequently the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Bari to Igoumenitsa: how to pay less

The cheapest ferry ticket from Bari to Igoumenitsa is normally on the conventional ferry, booked early, on a weekday outside the peak weeks. These are the rules our staff applies:

• Choose the conventional ferry over the high-speed boat when time allows - it is cheaper, steadier and often more scenic
• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper

When you fill out the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Bari to Igoumenitsa ferry first, then the alternatives.
