How to get from Corfu to Parga
There is no bridge or regular direct ferry: the usual route is a ferry from Corfu town to Igoumenitsa (about 1 h 15 – 1 h 45) and then about 1 h by car or bus to Parga. In summer, day-cruise boats from Corfu also visit Parga and Paxos.

Common questions
Is there a direct ferry from Corfu to Parga?
There is no regular year-round ferry line. In summer, day-cruise boats from Corfu visit Parga, often combined with Paxos, but these are mainly return excursions. For a stay, the usual route is the ferry from Corfu to Igoumenitsa followed by about an hour's drive or bus ride to Parga.
Can I do a day trip from Corfu to Parga?
Yes, most easily on a summer day cruise that stops in Parga for a few hours, usually with a stop on Paxos. Alternatively, take an early ferry to Igoumenitsa with a car, drive to Parga and come back on an evening ferry. It is a long day, but doable.
What is the cheapest way from Corfu to Parga?
The cheapest way is the ferry as a foot passenger to Igoumenitsa, about €10–15, followed by a KTEL bus to Parga for a few euro. The catch is that buses are few and may not match ferry times. For couples or families, a rental car or a taxi from Igoumenitsa can be worth the extra cost.
Can I take my car from Corfu to Parga?
Yes. Conventional ferries between Corfu and Igoumenitsa carry cars, and the drive to Parga takes about an hour. If you rented the car on Corfu, check that the rental company allows taking it to the mainland. Book a car space ahead in July and August.
