The Northern Port is the domestic side of Igoumenitsa: the quay on the town’s seafront where the short Ionian crossings leave. If you are heading to Corfu, Lefkimmi or Paxos, this is your port, not the international terminals further south.
Where the boats go
- Corfu Town. Kerkyra Lines and Kerkyra Seaways, with sailings through the day all year round. The crossing takes roughly 1 hour 10 to 1 hour 30 minutes.
- Lefkimmi, south Corfu. About 50 minutes, the shortest way to the south of the island.
- Paxos. Conventional ferries plus seasonal fast boats; in winter there are far fewer sailings.
Routes, operators and timetables are in our ferry guide.
Tickets and check-in
The ticket kiosks for Corfu and Paxos stand at the entrance to the domestic port. With a car, join the queue 30–45 minutes before departure, earlier on summer weekends. On foot, 20 minutes is usually enough. The time printed on your ticket always comes first.
Getting here
The port gate is on the seafront, a few minutes’ walk from the KTEL bus station and from the cafés, bakeries and ATMs of the centre. Ferries to Italy do not leave from here: they use the International Port.
