Port
Igoumenitsa Port
Ferry gateway from Italy on the Greek mainland.
Igoumenitsa is the closest mainland ferry port to Lefkada and the usual choice for anyone driving over from Italy. Year-round crossings link it to the Italian ports of Ancona, Bari, Brindisi and Venice; most sail overnight, so a cabin is worth it. Once ashore you drive south to the island.
