Port of Patras
Port Information, Terminals and Facilities
(Patras, Achaea, Greece)




Located in western Greece, the port of Patras is the main gateway to Greece from Italy and western Europe. The Ionian Islands, including Corfu, are just a short ferry ride away and the south coast of Italy is well within reach.

The port itself is very close to the centre of Patras, where many shops, restaurants and hotels can be found as facilities within the port itself are fairly lacking.




There is, however, a currency exchange booth just behind the ferry terminal building, as well as short-term and long-term parking.

Port of Patras Information: Ferry Services - Patras, Achaea, Greece

Anek Lines Ferries also runs a daily crossing from Patras to Ancona which takes 22 hours; a slightly longer journey time than Superfast ferries owing to a stop-off at the port of Igoumenitsa in northwest Greece.
