Sarris Lines — also known as Sarris Corfu Lines — operates one of the most reliable and convenient ferry connections in the Ionian Sea, linking the port of Igoumenitsa in mainland Greece with Lefkimmi, located in the southern part of Corfu. As a family-run Greek ferry company with years of experience, Sarris Lines serves both locals and international travelers year-round, offering a smooth and efficient way to travel between Epirus and Corfu.
The ferry crossing from Igoumenitsa to Lefkimmi takes approximately 50 minutes, making it one of the fastest routes between mainland Greece and Corfu. Compared to the longer journey to Corfu Town, this route is ideal for travelers heading to the south of Corfu, including popular destinations such as Kavos, Lefkimmi, and the southern beaches of the island.
With multiple daily departures, it is also a great option for day trips from Igoumenitsa to Corfu, especially during the summer season.
Sarris Lines ferries accommodate both foot passengers and vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, and campervans — making it a flexible choice whether you're traveling light or exploring Corfu with your own transport.
Tickets can be easily booked online through the official Sarris Lines website. Once your booking is completed, you will receive an e-ticket directly via email, allowing you to board the ferry without visiting a ticket office.
This is especially useful during the busy summer months, saving time and avoiding queues at the port. Return tickets and discounted fares for eligible passengers are also available.
Sarris Lines participates in the Greek government's Transport Equivalent Scheme (Μεταφορικό Ισοδύναμο – M.A.N.), which allows eligible residents to travel at reduced cost or even free of charge.
For eligibility criteria and application details, it is recommended to check directly on the company's website.
