How much does the ferry from Bari to Patras cost?

The cost of the ferry from Bari to Patras depends on the ferry company, the type of vessel, the date, whether you travel as a foot passenger or with a car, and the seat or cabin you choose. A conventional ferry is cheaper than a high-speed one; a summer Saturday costs more than a weekday in May; a car adds a vehicle fare; a cabin on an overnight sailing adds more. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price: we look up the live fares for your exact date and send the real cost by WhatsApp, with the options side by side.

What we include in the price we send: the ticket for each passenger, the vehicle if you bring one, any reserved seat or cabin you asked for, port taxes, and our service - checking the timetable, booking, sending the electronic ticket and answering questions before and during the crossing.

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

• 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
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators
• Ask about children's, student and resident fares, and about vehicle offers outside high season
• 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

We provide the ticket, explain check-in at Bari ferry terminal (Stazione Marittima) and stay reachable during the crossing.

• Step 1 - fill out the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children

Timetable and season of the Bari to Patras ferry

The Bari to Patras ferry timetable is seasonal: high summer brings the fullest schedule and the earliest sell-outs; spring and autumn have fewer boats and better fares; winter runs a reduced service on many crossings. The crossing itself takes about 16 hours. Tell us the day and we send the sailings, and we flag the ones most exposed to a cancellation in bad weather.

If a sailing is cancelled by the ferry company for weather, you are rebooked on the next available or refunded; our WhatsApp desk handles that for you on the day.

Departure: Bari ferry terminal (Stazione Marittima)

The ferry from Bari to Patras leaves from Bari ferry terminal (Stazione Marittima), in Bari - Bari is the capital of Puglia, with the old town of St Nicholas, the seafront and the trulli of Alberobello an hour away. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure; vehicles typically 60 to 90 minutes, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: A direct train and buses link the airport and the central station in about twenty minutes, which is easy for the city itself; for Alberobello, Polignano, Ostuni, Matera or Castel del Monte, trains are slow or need changes and buses are infrequent, so a private car from the airport or the port is the practical choice, especially with luggage or a family.

• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Bari ferry terminal (Stazione Marittima); some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
• Haqqi Tours offers a private transfer from your accommodation in Bari to the port on request
• Ask us which gate or terminal your sailing uses - big ports have several

Onward journeys from Patras - another ferry, a flight or a train the same day - can be added to the booking; let us know and we time the crossing to fit.
